Letter from the Chairman of the Board Dear Friends: The year 2009 was a bittersweet one for Health Alliance for Austin Musicians. This year the organization’s roots grew deeper, and its reach widened. I am proud to report that in just five years, HAAM has served nearly 2,000 musicians, many of whom tell us that HAAM has saved their lives. However, in October the loss of Robin R. Shivers, the founder and driving force behind the creation and success of HAAM, was devastating. It was Robin’s dream to find affordable healthcare services for Austin’s lowincome, uninsured working musicians, and she did just that. With HAAM Robin created a first-of-its-kind model for bringing community resources together to support musicians, who are an integral part of Austin’s economy and culture. We are indebted to Robin for her vision, initiative and leadership. She set the organization up for success and left us with an amazing foundation from which we can grow. Our board of directors and staff members are dedicated to not only continuing the services that Robin built but also strengthening and growing the organization into one that will make Robin proud. I hope you will take a moment to read the stories about Robin throughout this report. She had a tremendous impact on us all. HAAM founder Robin R. Shivers – The year was one of growth for HAAM. Our affiliate service providers, Seton A gem as rare as the pearls she often wore Family of Hospitals, St. David’s Foundation and The SIMS Foundation, provided more care to more musicians than prior years. Additionally, we launched a new hearing health program after musicians told us that this service was crucial for their profession but financially out of reach. Thanks to grants from The Cain Foundation and Austin Community Foundation, The HEAR Project, with affiliate service provider Estes Audiology, began in August. At quarterly clinics, musicians receive education and are screened and fit for custom earplugs. The response has been tremendous. One musician told us, “I’ve been exposing my most important musical asset to excessive
sound levels for years. I’m looking forward to keeping the remainder of my hearing intact.” The growth in demand for services and support from the community allowed HAAM to hire its second full-time employee in 2009. We welcome Jennifer Stowe as assistant director of services. We also saw changes on the board of directors. I want to extend my sincere thanks to board members Carol Clark, Marsha Cook and Jesus Garza, whose service guided HAAM from infancy until now. Thank you for your many gifts! Welcome to new board members Chris Adams, Earl Maxwell, Madge Vasquez and Howard Yancy. I continue to be inspired by the generosity of the Austin community. You turned out in record numbers for Corporate Battle of the Bands and HAAM Benefit Day. You bring HAAM’s mission to life with your gifts. A special thank-you goes to Marcia Ball, who chose HAAM as a beneficiary of her birthday bash. Marcia introduced her friends and fans from around the world to HAAM, and we are grateful to all who attended and contributed. We hope you’ll join us for our 2010 special events: Corporate Battle of the Bands, Tuesday, April 20, and the fifth HAAM Benefit Day on Tuesday, September 21. As 2009 comes to an end, so does my term as chairman. It has been an honor to serve in this position. The work of HAAM is incredibly important to our community. I love the abundance of live music in Austin, but even more important, what drew me to board service was knowing how important music is to Austin’s economic well-being. HAAM is in an excellent financial and organizational position as we go forward. We have nearly a year’s worth of reserves and are known across the country as a successful model for community health care. Please join me in welcoming Tim Taylor of Jackson Walker LLP as HAAM’s new chairman of the board. Tim has been at the front of the efforts to make every HAAM Benefit Day bigger and better than the last. He has a proven record of leadership, and he is the ideal candidate to lead HAAM in the years ahead. In 2010 HAAM celebrates its fifth anniversary. Knowing Robin, she probably did imagine how strong an organization HAAM would be in only five years. We will continue her legacy into the future and keep music in Austin alive and well!

“I never knew a more authentic or finer person than Robin. She was humble, wise and her capacity to give and share was enormous. She was ‘a bright light’ for our community. I remember Robin talking to my brother, Clifford, years ago about finding
health
care
for
Austin’s
musicians. Robin was determined. Robin created a great model with HAAM and planned it so well that the organization will last forever. There is nothing comparable to HAAM anywhere else in the country. It is because of Robin Shivers that HAAM is a reality.” — Susan Antone, Antone’s Nightclub

Health Alliance for Austin Musicians • Annual Report 2009
“What Robin started with HAAM is a beautiful thing. Some musicians haven’t been to a doctor since they were a kid. Now with HAAM’s help, they are getting health issues caught early because they went in for a routine checkup. Before HAAM most musicians had a ‘don’t get sick’ policy; now should something happen, we have somewhere to get help.”
— Carolyn Wonderland, musician
“I had been meeting with a group of people for about a month to talk about how we could help musicians access health care. Then I got a phone call from Robin. She said, ‘I hear you’ve been working on a plan to help musicians with their health care. Would you come to a meeting I’ve put together?’ Overnight HAAM was born. Robin was able to bring key leaders to the table, and they had very real healthcare services and were ready to make them available to musicians. Through the generosity of Seton and St. David’s, we immediately had 500 spots for health and dental care for musicians. Now HAAM has helped nearly 2,000 musicians. HAAM is Robin’s legacy. Robin understood the importance of bettering the Austin music community, and we are all better for having known her.” — Ray Benson, musician/producer, Asleep at the Wheel
HAAM Benefit Day
HAAM Benefit Day Participating Businesses
“We don’t have a storefront, so we did in-store tastings at the two Austin Whole Foods Markets and donated 100% of the Benefit Day sales from these stores. This year sales were double what they would normally be on a weekday. In addition to being more effective than print advertising, participating in HAAM Benefit Day is a whole lot more fun! It allows our customers and our company to give back to the people who make our hometown one of a kind. We love HAAM!” — Amy Ramm, founder, NadaMoo!

The fourth annual HAAM Benefit Day held on Tuesday, September 22, was a citywide celebration of live music and the talented musicians who make Austin and its culture so rich. Nearly 200 Austin-area businesses showed their support by pledging 5 percent of the day’s proceeds or making cash donations to HAAM. More than 100 musical acts, most with members who belong to HAAM, performed at businesses throughout the city to increase sales and raise awareness about HAAM’s mission. Topfer Family Foundation showed its support with a grant (up to $25,000) that matched all individual donations on HAAM Benefit Day. Even on a very rainy day in Austin, the community showed great generosity with individual donations well exceeding the matching grant. Altogether 2009 HAAM Benefit Day raised $164,000 for musicians’ health. Thank you, Austin! HAAM invites all businesses, residents and musical acts to participate in the fifth HAAM Benefit Day on Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2010. Special thanks for presenting sponsor Whole Foods Market and members of the HAAM Benefit Day 2009 Committee, including three-time chairman Tim Taylor, Volney Campbell, Keith Carmichael, Dan Connolly, Keith Donahoe, Scott Flack, Lisa Hickey, David Jabour, Nancy Nichols, Evan Williams and Diana Zuniga.

Health Alliance for Austin Musicians • Annual Report 2009
“Robin Shivers was like Batman. She was Bruce Wayne, and then she was secretly saving lives but never wanted the credit because she thought it would distract. She had a bigger picture of things. She had the warmest heart for this world of anyone I have ever met in my life. As my manager, she had a plan for me and my career. She said she was going to figure out how to get me health care. I told her that was not really possible unless I got really rich. But she did it. She built HAAM so that self-employed, low-income, uninsured working musicians like me would be able to access affordable health care.”
— Troy Campbell, musician/producer
Corporate Battle of the Bands “Because we love music and appreciate the gift that local musicians give us, we support HAAM’s mission to help provide healthcare services to these artists. We want to challenge our peers to join in. It’s not only an important fundraiser; it’s a great way to celebrate our legacy and privilege of living in the Live Music Capital of the World. We had a blast at last year’s event, and we can’t wait until April 20, 2010!” — Jason Rhode, president and CEO of Cirrus Logic The second annual Corporate Battle of the Bands fundraiser and concert was held Tuesday, April 21. Eleven bands made up of business professionals who play music as a hobby competed against each other in front of celebrity judges and a packed house at Antone’s to raise awareness and funds for HAAM. Congratulations to all of this year’s participants — you were great! A special thank-you to presenting sponsors Cirrus Logic and Jackson Walker LLP and event cochairs Dan Connolly and Lisa Hickey for your leadership of the event! HAAM invites business professionals who love to play live music to join in the 2010 Corporate Battle of the Bands on Tuesday, April 20.

Health Alliance for Austin Musicians • Annual Report 2009
“I first noticed Robin because she was always front and center at important events for good causes. She was someone I could call if I needed help moving an idea forward, a problem solver. So when Robin decided to become involved with music management, she immediately focused on a crucial issue facing all musicians — the need for affordable health care. She pursued her vision, a Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, with her usual formidable energy, and she carried the entire music community and Austin at large with her until she had achieved her goal. Robin contributed in many ways toward improving Austin’s quality of life, but in creating HAAM, she found a way to save lives, and gifts don’t get any bigger than that.”
— Marcia Ball, musician
2009 Special Events
Good Eggs & HAAM
Marcia Ball’s Great Big Birthday Bash
Good Eggs & HAAM is a group of young professionals that are passionate about live music, understand that musicians are a unique and important cultural and economic resource for Austin and have a desire to give back and support musicians’ health care. Good Eggs educate the community about HAAM and its mission and support the organization through an annual monetary contribution. Additionally, Good Eggs participate in social networking events and fundraising events throughout the year that allow opportunities to advocate for musicians’ health.
Marcia Ball celebrated her 60th birthday in style during Valentine’s Day weekend, and she chose Health Alliance for Austin Musicians as a co-beneficiary of the festivities. It was a weekend of fun that included a Rocking Voodoo Party, a Sweetheart Ball and a Pianorama Brunch. Marcia’s friends, family and fans came from around the world to celebrate with her and showed their generosity and support for our local musicians. It was an incredible weekend of live music! Thank you, Marcia!
