Play it forward is an application of the concept of 'pay it forward' to local music right here in the Greater Cincinnati area. Pay it forward means that when someone does something for you or adds value to your life, in addition to paying back that person, you have the option of paying it forward, passing on something to someone else. If music has added value to your life, in addition to supporting those musicians you like, you can pay it forward (or play it forward) to any musician in need, and keep the music going forward into the future.

Gary Burbank, local comedian, radio celebrity and musician, came up with the idea of Play It Forward to support local musicians in need and to help foster a strong local music community in the greater Cincinnati area. In early 2008, he recruited other Cincinnati musicians, friends, and music supporters to get this organization off the ground.

Play It Forward Mission Statement:

"The dedication of musicians to their craft and to the enjoyment of so many sometimes comes at the expense of their financial security and well being, occasionally leaving them in very dire straits. We seek to educate the public about those cases and to create and manage an investment fund whose annual profits will be used to assist Greater Cincinnati musicians and their families in times of catastrophic need."

Play it Forward will be producing an ongoing series of events, musical and otherwise, to raise funds to benefit local musicians. Look for the Play it Forward name and logo associated with these events. This means that the money raised is going to benefit local musicians in need.

Included in the series will be musical events, and possibly the Gary Burbank Roast.

 

If you would like to volunteer to help at events, there will soon be opportunities. Stay tuned.

 

This site and organization is a work in progress. Stop back to see us evolve. (2/08)
