We'd like to send a huge thank you to all of our artists and their voters who participated in this year's Opening Act. As a result of the voting activity throughout the competition, we are excited to announce a substantial donation of $446,779.07 to the MusiCares Foundation!

MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. MusiCares' services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly influence the health and welfare of the music community.
