WE HIT OUR GOAL!
The fund will still be open until Friday night (tomorrow) at 11:59:99 P.M. PST so feel free to continue contributing until then.
Also, I just purchased this domain:
www.musiciansfund.org 
Stay tuned for a HUGE launch!
The organization will be called:
The Musicians Relief and Scholarship Fund. It will be a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization (looking for an attorney right now to handle it). All donations will be tax deductable.
I am going to get it set up ASAP.
You will be able to:
* Set up automatic monthly contributions of $5 to whatever amount you indicate
* Donate used gear to be sold with the proceeds going directly into the fund
I am going to be setting up a Board will a few other people to discuss and implement the fund.
Monies will be given to those who are truly in need AND I am setting up a Scholarship portion of this organization to find and award scholarships to musicians and people aspiring to be engineers.
If we simply got 500 people to donate $10 a month we could raise $5,000 a month easily and be able to REALLY help some of our brothers both within TB and outside. Possibly help a music school in New Orleans or Mississippi. The skies the limit.
I will also be using my contacts in the industry to solicit contributions from manufacturers.
Stay Tuned and Thank You once again.
