BluesAid was created by the Sonny Boy Blues Society to help the now
aging population of blues artists cope with healthcare costs and
memorial expenses. Many of the most influential bluesmen and women have
not fared well finacially and are without any healthcare insurance and
no savings in case of illness, either acute or chronic. The BluesAid
project is an extension of the Sonny Boy Blues Society's local efforts
to help these aging artists obtain the proper medical help and
medications they may have otherwise gone without.
BluesAid raises money for a nationwide clearinghouse for financial aid
for medical, pharmacuetical, and memorial expenses. BluesAid allows
musicians and fans to pay respect to many of the influences that shaped
and molded many of today's succesful artists not only in the blues
world, but also in rock, pop and country.
