Broadening our audience, and raising as much money for grants to help creatives mental and physical health as possible this year will be a joy and a challenge, but I know we can achieve it!"

"Our goal is to raise substantial funds for this epic organization, as our amazing artists and fans from around the globe will embrace donating to such vital causes."
