Tales of the Toddy Makes Spirits Bright for NOMAF with $1,000 Donation

Dedicated on May 2, 1998, the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation (NOMAF) became the first such health initiative in the United States, addressing the health care needs of musicians and their families. The mission of the NOMAF is to keep music alive by sustaining New Orleans musicians and tradition bearers in body, mind and spirit. They do this through providing access to health and social services through the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, regardless of musicians’ ability to pay, and by fostering cultural opportunities that advocate for and support this effort.

Thank you for helping us spread a little holiday cheer at this year’s Tales of the Toddy celebration. Without your help we never would have been able to bring the spirits of the holiday season to our festive guests. We hope you will join us next summer when the spirits come to life at Tales of the Cocktail 2010.
