The Local 47 Musicians Relief Fund is an emergency assistance fund that provides a resource to help cover daily living and household expenses when a member musician is in financial distress and cannot work due to a sudden illness or injury. Your participation helps musicians in need and strengthens our endowment for emergency assistance.
While the Local 47 Musicians Relief Fund raises much of its money at our annual Fall Classic Golf Tournament, we accept cash and material donations throughout the year. We use material donations as silent auction items.
