This site was set up in January 2008 as tribute to David Williams and is now the official MySpace page for The Musicians Benefit Fund. It was a hub of info and news about his condition during his illness and our efforts to support David's family during that time, which were very successful due to your support. It now serves as a memorial page to him.
David passed away on May 6, 2008 at his home surrounded by his loved ones. Your help and support during that time is greatly appreciated. It was part of David's final wishes that the work of the MBF continue to help his family after his passing and help other musicians like him.
The Musicians Benefit Fund is a non-profit organization based in Montgomery, AL that was set up to support David and musicians like him after he was diagnosed with cancer in January, 2008. We will be supporting his family after his passing for some time and we may have other musicians who are in need of our help just like David, so the road doesn't end here --- this is just the beginning. Please support MBF events whenever you can. We have plans to start promoting large-scale concerts featuring national acts with local opening acts very soon to continue raising money for the cause. We are also working on a group insurance plan for local musicians, so stay tuned.
Get on the e-mail list for event notifications and other news and you'll hear about everything hot off the press including advance ticket offers before the public onsale. You can also check out the blog for info also, but the e-mail list gets the info quite a bit earlier. E-mail us at [email protected] to be added to the list.
