The COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION (CMA) has pledged $100,000 to MUSIC HEALTH ALLIANCE (MHA) to further support the nonprofit and its work to provide free healthcare advocacy and support to those within the music industry.
“The CMA called us the morning of the [NASHVILLE] tornadoes and have been in constant contact throughout the unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our industry,” said MHA Founder/CEO TATUM ALLSEP. “The CMA truly recognizes that we have all been tasked with finding solutions to face these challenges and navigate this uncharted territory. MUSIC HEALTH ALLIANCE is immeasurably grateful for our CMA partnership because together we are stronger. The CMA’s support today ensures that our team of advocates can continue to provide direct, free services, as well as immediate financial relief to the most vulnerable in our industry at this critical time.”
“MUSIC HEALTH ALLIANCE's critical work and advocacy is essential to supporting those within our entire music industry,” said CMA CEO SARAH TRAHERN. “While we planned this pledge well before the current COVID-19 pandemic, today it is even more important that we aid MHA and all that they do. In Middle TENNESSEE, our community is still recovering from the devastating tornadoes that ripped through the region just three weeks ago. From lifesaving medical services and mental health assistance to offering resources and advice to those who have recently lost or do not have healthcare coverage, the support MHA provides is enormous and I personally thank TATUM and her devoted team for their crucial work.”
CMA previously pledged $100,000 to MHA in 2018 in support of the organization’s “Heal The Music Day,” offering a matching contribution for donations raised within the music industry, in addition to a community grant in 2017.
