This festival isn’t just about great music; it’s about making a real difference. All proceeds raised by the music fest will directly support vital outdoor therapy programs and group musical instruction for veterans, initiatives championed by the Veterans Foundation of America. Their dedication to empowering and uplifting the veteran community through comprehensive support in mental and physical health, fostering resilience, and promoting holistic well-being is truly inspiring.
The Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is proud to co-host this event as part of our mission to preserve, promote, and perpetuate jazz, blues, and other indigenous music forms in New Jersey. Our “Band Together for Veterans” charter, as part of the JSJBF, is specifically focused on organizing live music events and concert fundraisers to support nonprofit groups that provide assistance to local veterans and their families, addressing critical issues like the prevention of veteran suicide, homelessness, and PTSD treatment.
