Help For Bluegrass Musicians Affected By California Wildfires
Devastating wildfires have destroyed the lives of many people in Northern California. Among those who have lost everything are bluegrass musicians.
The Northern California Bluegrass Society Board of Directors has voted to support an outstanding project organized by our sister association — the California Bluegrass Association.
An instant fundraising drive is underway to pay to replace instruments lost in the fires. You can support this important effort by visiting Instruments For Fire SurvivorsĀ and making a donation of any amount.
Recovery will be especially long and arduous in this case. Look for more bluegrass projects to be organized in the future, and thanks for your support.
