Bill Lloyd from The Long Players hands over a check for $1,000 to Debbie Carroll, Executive Director at MusiCares. MusiCares is one of two charitable arms of the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences, best known for the GRAMMY Awards.

The Long Players made MusicCares their charity of choice after they performed George Harrison's All Things Must Pass album in December of 2011 and Fleetwood Mac's self-titled 1975 album in January of 2012.

At each of the band’s public performances, The Long Players donate a portion of the evening's proceeds to a featured charity. On more than a few occasions, funds have gone directly to musicians to supplement health care expenses when insurance wasn’t enough.  At other times the proceeds have been donated to organizations such as MusicCares, The Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Alive Hospice and others.
