The Pinetop Perkins Foundation would like to express its deepest gratitude to the Blues community for supporting its mission at the Pinetop Boogie event last Saturday in Clarksdale. Thanks to the generosity of the musicians and supporters, we were able to raise funds to provide 15 scholarships to young musicians participating in our Masterclass Workshops this summer.

The “Pinetoppers” who performed at the end of the evening are all workshop alumni, comprising both accomplished touring musicians and aspiring young artists dedicated to the Blues tradition.

Special recognition is due to the John Lee Ho**er Foundation for their substantial donation to the auction, and to Ground Zero Blues Club for their role as event hosts.

The success of the event is a testament to the collective efforts of many donors, volunteers, and supporters. We are grateful for all who help us Keep the Blues Alive!!
