2003 IS THE YEAR OF THE BLUES

So what better time to become a member of The Blues Foundation? For as little as $25 annually, you can help support the Foundation in its efforts to preserve and promote the Blues, through programs like the upcoming 20th Annual International Blues Challenge new talent competition, The Keeping the Blues Alive Awards, The Blues Hall of Fame, The Lifetime Achievement Awards, Blues in the Schools, and the biggest night in the Blues, the annual W.C. Handy Blues Awards, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2004.

Support the Blues today.

The Blues Foundation needs your help now more than ever.

Nonprofit organizations around the country have suffered in recent years; The Blues Foundation is no exception. But now The Blues Foundation has an exciting opportunity that could help ensure its future. The Community Foundation of Greater Memphis has issued a 1:1 matching grant. If The Blues Foundation can raise $37,500 in new money, The Community Foundation will match it. That's $75,000 to help preserve and promote the blues. The fundraising drive is already under way, but we need your help.

Help us reach the goal. Join the Blues Foundation today.
