Clients Boost Musician’s Emergency Fund

The musicians we work with at Oasis may well be the most charitable in the world! This is based on my unofficial reckoning as follows: Every time our clients fill out a survey at the end of a manufacturing project, they have the option of forgoing a very nifty Oasis Disc Manufacturing T-shirt and instead have Oasis donate the equivalent value to the Jazz Foundation of America’s Musician’s Emergency Fund (which helps musicians trying to get/stay on their feet in the continuing economic freefall wrought by hurricanes Katrina and Rita).

So far, the vast majority of Oasis clients filling out the survey have chosen the donation: 378 in just the last few months, in fact! When Wendy Oxenhorn, Executive Director of the Jazz Foundation, received the resulting donation check, she wrote the following letter, which really goes out to you – all 378 of you!

“Kindness and generosity for the elders of jazz and blues and the musicians of New Orleans and nationwide encourages not only all of us who are working together to help, but also the musicians themselves. Our ability to help is because of you, and for that we thank you.” –Wendy
