February is the Blues Foundation’s Month of HART Please consider making a donation from your heart to the HART Fund to help the Blues Foundation keep blues musicians healthy.
The HART (Handy Artists Relief Trust) Fund supports blues musicians and their families in financial need due to a broad range of health concerns. The Fund provides for acute, chronic, and preventive medical, vision, and dental care as well as funeral and burial expenses.
