WHY SUPPORTING SMASH IS MUSIC TO MY EARS: A GUEST POST BY SUSIE CAMPBELL, SOUTH SOUND BLUES ASSOCIATION MEMBER
SMASH HELPS LOCAL MUSICIANS STAY HEALTHY
SMASH provides access to free and low-cost healthcare services for musicians living in King, Snohomish, Pierce, Mason, Kitsap, and Thurston counties, plus support for navigating the complicated and frustrating healthcare system. It’s free to be a member of SMASH, and you'll qualify even if you have insurance.
HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER
IT'S FREE!
We will not have a local music scene without musicians living locally.
As musicians hustle to make ends meet, healthcare takes a backseat to expenses like rent and food. Seeing a doctor when it isn’t an emergency feels like a luxury, but it shouldn’t be. Musicians deserve access to high-quality health care services, and they shouldn’t have to be rich or an insurance expert to access it either.
When you support SMASH you help provide a safety net that allows our local musicians to feel cared for and focus their resources on other key living expenses, including their musical craft. In turn, our local musicians enrich our local culture, our economy, and our lives.
Musicians are the heartbeat of our community. Behind every show, album, and song is a musician who pours everything into their art, often at great personal cost. For many of these hardworking artists, affordable healthcare remains out of reach, making their passion and dedication even more impressive.
We invite you to join Sound Society, our community of monthly givers. By giving each month, you become a consistent source of support for local musicians, helping them access the healthcare they need so they can keep creating the music we all love.
