WellsFest CARES serves as an emergency fund for musicians.
It is an outgrowth of the WellsFest Music Festival presented each year by Wells Church. For 40 years, musicians have played a vital role in supporting and donating their time and talent, and facilitating over $1.5 million in donations to local nonprofits. WellsFest CARES reciprocates this goodwill by offering a safety net for musicians facing challenging times. It’s more than just a fund; it’s a tribute to the power of Unity, Love, and Music, ensuring musicians are taken care of in their times of need.
