The Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival 2010
Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival Raises Over $50,000 for Charity
Chesapeake Bay Events, Inc. (CBE) is pleased to announce that more than $50,000 was raised for the 4 charities that it supports. Despite a sluggish economy, the Blues Festivals was declared a success by the producer and founder Don Hooker. “It’s always a gamble, particularly in the current economic atmosphere, whether we will attain our goal or go into the red”.
The festival was a 2 day event held at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis Maryland on May 22nd and 23rd of this year. Featured performers included Blues legend and multiple Grammy winner Buddy Guy, Rock and Roll icon Chuck Berry, Jimmie Vaughan, Shemekia Copeland, the Yardbirds and many more.
$20,000 0f the proceeds have already been distributed to We Care and Friends, a local Annapolis charity founded by Larry Griffin. Special Olympics of Maryland, Camp Face and Special Love, the other three charities supported by the festival, should be presented with checks shortly.
We would like to thank our sponsors and volunteers who make this special event possible.
