Your gift of cash will indicate your belief in the project,<br />

show your appreciation for the talent and the experience,<br />

and will help us to achieve our objective of assisting some<br />

in our industry who have been deeply affected financially<br />

by the fallout caused by COVID 19.<br />

The Music Unites<br />

Foundation of<br />

Jamaica, a non-profit<br />

organisation that is totally<br />

funded by donations and<br />

corporate support, was set<br />

up by Rosina Moder and Peter<br />

Ashbourne, two of Jamaica’s<br />

most accomplished musicians, who have been committed<br />

to nurturing musical talent among the island’s youth. They<br />

established the Foundation to assist talented musicians like<br />

those on the show to access training through scholarships,<br />

acquire musical instruments and to receive other basic<br />

support necessary for them to further their craft and<br />

strengthen their skills. Since COVID 19, the foundation<br />

has lost its funding and is currently unable to give the<br />

support that they have done in the past. Jamaica Jazz<br />

and Blues will assist them with part proceeds from<br />

donations collected, to help them get back on track.<br />

Production and technical crew who have consistently<br />

worked behind the scenes to ensure that festivals such as<br />

the Jamaica Jazz and Blues deliver a top-class experience<br />

to all our fans, have also suffered greatly as a result of<br />

the lack of live events, that has been a result of COVID<br />

19. Many of them have been out of work for almost a<br />

year. Already in doing this virtual show, some have been<br />

able to earn and we aim to assist others who may not<br />

have been a part of this production with part proceeds<br />

from donations.<br />

Help to make the difference! Thank you, in advance,<br />

for supporting the Jamaica Jazz and Blues <strong>2021</strong> virtual<br />

edition by attending, and for your kind donation.<br />
