For the 6th year in a row, the Area 36 Blues & Music Festival is gearing up for the annual event to support the Shriners Children’s Hospital in Spokane. This free-admission music festival is seeking donors and sponsors for the event on July 14, 2016. Donations cover the cost of performing bands and operating expenses so that the weekend can remain admission free and more of the proceeds from the weekend can go directly to the local Shriners Hospital in Spokane. Area 36 is a non-profit fundraiser and every donation is a tax write-off. Last year in addition to the money raised at the event, several local businesses contributed to the Shriners mission as awareness in the community grew. The Shriners Hospital stands out among other charitable organizations as more than 90% of every dollar donated goes directly to the care of children with serious medical needs. In contrast, many non profits consume a vast percentage of donations in overhead operating costs.
