2010 Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival The Blues Foundation

The Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival


Thanks to all of the patrons, volunteers and sponsors we are, once again, able to make contributions to our four recipient charities.  This year we raised $52,848.64.  We are extremely happy with this in light of a still suffering economy.   In at least one case, the contribution that we make will keep a charity alive.  Not only has it helped these charities, but we are encouraged to go forward with another festival in 2012.  Thanks again for your support!  It means so much, now more than ever.

About the festival:
Chesapeake Bay Events (CBE) held its first festival in 1998.  It has quickly gained national notoriety as one of the premier Blues Festivals in the world.  Outside of providing top caliber entertainment, the festival also gives ALL net proceeds to charity. To date the CBE has raised $800,000 for charities. 

Prior year’s recipients included Make A Wish of the Mid-Atlantic and the USO.  This year the recipient charities will be: John Hopkins Cleft and Cranial Facial Children’s CAMP FACE, We Care and Friends, which is an organization providing a wide variety of services to the needy of Annapolis, and Camp Fantastic, a camp for children with cancer which is operated by Special Love, Inc.

Thank you for your support,
Chesapeake Bay Events
