Media Award for Best Holiday Song with "Snowflake". Charity Louwerse is an ambassador for the Australian Children's Music Foundation and believes strongly that if children are exposed to music or are involved in music, they will grow up to be better human beings. Since 2010, Louwerse has participated in concerts to raise funds for the ACMF. She raised more than $260,000 in 2013, for the ACMF, Redland Foundation and Mater Children's Hospital, and was recognised with a 'QLD Volunteer of the Year' Award. Louwerse is also the ambassador for the Redland Foundation, showing her support for her community in Redland City where she grew up and still lives today. In 2021, Mirusia became the Prima Ambassador for Silver Memories, a program backed by research and clinical studies to help elderly Australians feel socially-engaged and connected through nostalgic music. Personal life In July 2015, Louwerse married her long term boyfriend Youri Wystyrk. The wedding was a much celebrated affair with André Rieu writing a special piece of music and filming a video clip of the pair before their wedding. In December 2017, Louwerse gave birth to the couple's first child, Sascha.
