Nuci's Space was founded after the death of an Athens, GA musician. They provide regular doctors as well as counseling for those who cannot afford insurance as most jobs musicians hold don't provide benefits. It also serves as a social network so noone falls along the wayside. Nuci's Space is really a great foundation that could do great things with enough funding. Drive-By Truckers holds a three night benefit concert for them every year. First off let me say I’m not affiliated with Nuci’s Space I’ve just been to it for various benefits/shows.

Also, a way to handle things financially maybe? Jolynn – I looked at the group’s website – seems like the foundation is in someone’s name, who was a musician.

The persons most hurt by the meth use are obviously Agassi himself and those closest to him. But, people can change. I think his foundation has an ambitious agenda and does a lot of good things. Perhaps next time around I'll pick five charities or orgs to vote for to give some more variety.

I like what the Agassi foundation does but I don't like Agassi himself. The free arts foundation is nice. And so I vote for either of those two. I feel like with either of these foundations you would be helping more kids in general rather than only musicians with the last foundation. Its so hard to pick one.

Also, why is the suicide one only for musicians? I would like it better if it was for anyone.
