The Musician Treatment Foundation “assists in providing surgical and nonsurgical care for the shoulder, elbow, and hand injuries of uninsured and underinsured professional musicians so they can maintain their livelihoods and keep the music playing for us all,” they write. “MTF is dedicated to fostering a world that cares for its injured musicians regardless of their ability to pay.”

You can register for a free ticket and join the livestream here. They’re also taking donations and selling bandanas and t-shirts through the same link.
