One of our proudest moments at HAAM came when the board announced that the Health Alliance would be able to double its capacity and serve 1,000 low-income, uninsured working musicians. This growth was possible because of the support of people like you who value Austin’s local treasure — its musicians.

“The real benefit of supporting HAAM Benefit Day is not in the short-term benefit to that day’s sales, although there is a positive effect. The benefit we are most pleased with is the opportunity to associate ourselves and our image with an organization that is so positive for what we all love about Austin — helping people in our community, musicians, who make Austin a great place to live. Everyone wants to support the Austin they want and identify with. HAAM represents a part of that identity.” – Mike Haggerty, Thundercloud Subs
