Co-Founder David Pack: “When I battled cancer 10 years ago, there was nowhere I could turn to raise money for my surgery - the surgeon did not take insurance. When my wife Stacey was diagnosed with cancer this year, we decided our mission will be to provide help where none exists, artist-to-artist, in our music and entertainment industry.”
“We musicians only have each other.
We need to do this artist to artist, no one else will do it for us.”
