BluesAid was created by the Sonny Boy Blues Society to help the now aging population of blues artists cope with healthcare costs and memorial expenses. Many of the most influential bluesmen and women have not fared well finacially and are without any healthcare insurance and no savings in case of illness, either acute or chronic. The BluesAid project is an extension of the Sonny Boy Blues Society's local efforts to help these aging artists obtain the proper medical help and medications they may have otherwise gone without.
BluesAid raises money for a nationwide clearinghouse for financial aid for medical, pharmacuetical, and memorial expenses. BluesAid allows musicians and fans to pay respect to many of the influences that shaped and molded many of today's succesful artists not only in the blues world, but also in rock, pop and country.
