  • About the Fund: The Blues Foundation established the HART Fund (Handy Artists Relief Trust) for Blues musicians and their families in financial need due to a broad range of health concerns. The Fund provides for acute, chronic and preventive medical and dental care as well as funeral and burial expenses.
Since 2016, The Big Blues Bender has been proud to support this worthy cause, and have contributed over $300,000 to date! All talent, staff, and processing fees are either donated or paid directly by Bender Presents. We do this so that 100% of all proceeds go directly to the fund!
