Fandiem & Bandsintown Launch “F-COVID” Fundraising Campaign
Fandiem and Bandsintown have partnered together for a new fundraising campaign, “F-COVID,” benefitting the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.
The “F-COVID” campaign is the two company’s latest fundraising campaign in efforts to offset the financial impact and toll COVID-19 has taken on the music community. Those who donate to the campaign can enter to win trips to see musicians like Eric Church, signed merchandise from Nine Inch Nails, Imagine Dragons, Kesha, free concert tickets to see Metallica, Lord Huron, and dozens more. All proceeds will benefit the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund which directly provides financial assistance to all career musicians and music industry workers who are struggling while facing physical, mental, disability, or age-related problems.
“We are thrilled to partner with Bandsintown to inspire artist and fan communities to support urgent causes. With the industry feeling the effects of another surge, the time is right to launch “F-Covid” and support Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. This campaign is our collective effort to help musicians and music industry workers whose livelihoods continue to be impacted,” says Fandiem’s co-founder Jared Heiman in a press release.
