In a heartfelt move resonating far beyond the festival stage, Martin Garrix has been named the newest ambassador for the Prinses Máxima Center.

Prinses Máxima is one of the leading pediatric oncology centers in the Netherlands. With roughly 600 children in the country facing cancer each year, the institute’s mission is critical towards improving survival rates and providing the best possible care for young patients.

Garrix is now lending his influence to support the center’s groundbreaking research and treatments for childhood cancer. The Dutch EDM superstar recently visited to host a DJ course with individual instruction for several young cancer patients.
