As 2016 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who supported us this year and show you exactly where and how you’ve helped. Our biggest initiative of 2016 was The Story Campaign in support of War Child’s efforts to protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children caught up in war and we’ll be continuing that in 2017 in an even bigger way. But we also gave to other organizations, big and small, local and global.

Thanks to supporters like you, we raised close to $250,000 for organizations that needed our support. Here’s who we looked out for this year:

• The Story Campaign 

• LGBT Equality Alliance

• Fight The Fear Campaign

• Hedgebrook

• East Nashville Hope Exchange

• Canyon Park Junior High Music Boosters

• Missionvale USA

• BEST (Businesses Ending Slavery & Trafficking)

• Georgia Breast Cancer Coalition

• Maple Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra

• Northwest Youth Services

• Courage 360

• Camp Victory

• Make Music NOLA

• Lustgarten Foundation - in honor of Sharon Jones

• SLAM!

• SpeakOUT Boston

• Affordable Homeownership Foundation

• Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital

• Listening Ear Crisis Center

• Orange County Coastkeeper Environmental Education

• JFS Orlando Food Pantry

Thank you and here’s to another year of making music mean more!
