You have the opportunity to help
A Day To Remember with something musicians desperately need: healthcare!
ROCK FOR HEALTH is giving you the chance to sponsor your favorite band's healthcare for one year! Maybe you've bought CDs, t-shirts, and traveled far and wide to see them play, but now you can do something unique and personal for Jeremy, Alex, Kevin, Neil, Josh and their crew!
ROCK FOR HEALTH is a non profit organization that advocates health and preventative care for musicians and their crew members. A population that is better informed about its health care coverage options will be better able to access needed care. RFH will inform musicians on a wide variety of health issues including preventative health services, social, mental and occupational outreach. Through leadership, communication, and partnerships, RFH is dedicated to the creation of a healthy musical environment in which artists and performers can perform at their peak physical and mental abilities. Without healthy musicians, we will not have music that is created to its highest potential. Sick artists cannot tour. RFH wants to make their life and music healthy by helping them address health problems before they escalate into thousands of dollars worth of hospital bills.
Music exists because of the artists creating it. Record labels exist because of the artists creating that music. The employees of record labels (everyone from the mail room guys to the CEO) all have health insurance and benefits. Yet – these people all have jobs because of the artists. The artists see no benefits, no health insurance, nothing. Musicians are not seen as employees of a record label. They are “temps” – temporary employees – because of the record contract that they sign. They sign their career and lives over to these labels, which help develop it and help it grow. Nine times out of ten, a band will break up or cancel tours due to prevailing health issues.
