On behalf of the Board of Music Aurora, we would like to thank the residents of Aurora for their tremendous support of the 6th Annual Aurora Winter Blues Festival.
\nThe event this year spanned the month of February with programming every weekend. We would like to thank our community partners the Aurora Public Library, the Aurora Cultural Centre, the Aurora Legion, St. Andrew\u2019s College, The ARTS Music Store and the Aurora Farmers\u2019 Market for hosting live music events as part of the AWBF.
\nThe growing support and generosity of our local business community through their sponsorship and product donations in support of the AWBF is greatly appreciated. The AWBF \u201cBluesBash\u201d Festival Kickoff and Fundraising event hosted at Highland Automotive Professionals was another success and helped raise $20,390 for our charitable benefactors Blue Door Shelters, Community & Home Assistance to Seniors (CHATS) and the AWBF Youth In Music Program. To-date the AWBF has raised $84,890 for local charities thanks to the support of our community.
\nTo all our wonderful Volunteers and Organizing Committee who make this event possible, we thank you and appreciate your time, effort and passion – you\u2019re the Best!
\nWe wish everyone an enjoyable summer and hope to see you around town supporting live music!<\/p>\n
