Blue Star Connection
The Blue Star Connection (BSC) is a program of the non-profit organization Grand County Blues Society. Not only does Blue Star Connection work with musical therapists and children in various hospitals and clinics, but BSC also hosts fundraisers and benefit concerts in many cities around the USA in order to support its cause.
Our Mission
The Blue Star Connection mission is to provide access and ownership of musical instruments for children and adults with cancer and other serious life challenges. To date we have reached over 1200 kids and have donated musical gear to 100 Children’s Hospitals and Music Therapy programs, as well as several other community programs. Please help us continue this mission.
How We Help Blue Stars
Since 2007, we have helped over 1400 Blue Stars. We help Blue Stars in three main ways: directly, through hospitals, and through music therapists.
Many Blue Stars come to us via Direct Connection through our social media presence, or see us at an event, or just through word of mouth.
Regardless of how they find us, we assist them in every way possible. We meet with them and their family or guardians to understand their passion for music, financial situation, and the plan going forward for instruction through a music therapist or individual lessons.
Through your donations we provide the Blue Star with the instrument and connections to fully enjoy the “gift of music”. The instruments are theirs to own and cherish.

Occasionally we receive a donated instrument that can’t be placed with a Blue Star. We resell those in our Reverb.com Shop and use the proceeds to purchase a new instrument and get it placed immediately.
