Volunteer
Music Maker Relief Foundation is in need of volunteers who can give their time to help keep the blues alive. Here are a few ways you can help out:
THROW A BASH FOR MUSIC MAKER!
Music Maker invites you to host a party in your city or town to raise money for the foundation and help spread our mission. We have a slew of great themes you can borrow for your bash — country cocktail blues party, dirty blues throw down, rockin' roots birthday party — or you can come up with your own perfect party.
Right now we're encouraging supporters to throw a Music Maker DVD screening bash featuring excerpts from our new documentary DVD/CD set "Drink House to Church House: Songs and Stories from the Roots of America, Vol. 1 and 2." This documentary contains short films of interviews and performances of Music Maker artists in their homes, in the studio, and from drink houses to church houses! We guarantee this film will entertain your guests! You can bring together your friends, family and community for a night of enjoyment, raise money for Music Maker, and get the film out to as many people as possible.

Pass them out in their communities (grocery stores, coffee shops, churches, community centers, community gatherings, anywhere local press is displayed) to help spread our mission.
