"Let Us Play Program"

The "Let Us Play Program", was instituted in 2004. It is a new venture for the Blues Alliance of the Treasure Coast. It's aim is to provide used or new musical instruments, free of cost, to students who can not afford to buy or rent their own and would otherwise be left out of functions. We accept donations from the public! We will be contacting schools in the quad-county area, and wish to work with the most needy children. This program is on a limited basis and will progress as we receive donations. Contact our Hot Line at (772)- 467-1851 to donate an instrument or if you know someone in need.

To donate an instrument, please call: Blues Hot Line-(772) 467-1851. Thankyou

Thank You To All Our Corporate Sponsors

Sincere thanks goes out to our many Corporate Sponsors for supporting our fine organization, and for supporting music and the blues. Without your support, our organization would not be as successful as it is. Your dues payment goes to support our scholarships, of which we do two each year at IRCC Music Department. Two worthy students of music get much needed assistance to continue their education in music. Some go on to higher education and become music teachers, and many other fine professions in music. Everyone in The Blues Alliance, President Patti Gamble, the Officers and the Board of Directors, the Committees, and all of our members want to say:

THANKYOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
