How to pay back The Blue Flames:

We play for fun – that’s our bottom line. But we also gain a tremendous amount of enjoyment by having those we play for show their appreciation by making donations to charities that mean the most to us. Two of our main charities are:

The Linvilles’ Charity:
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) -- Dr. Faustman's Research
c/o Lynne Murphy, Building 149, 13th Street, CNY-3601, Charlestown, MA 02129

The Wells’ Charity:
Family Centers Inc.
40 Arch Street, Greenwich, CT 06836

When we play, how much should you give? Our minimum for a gig is $2,000 – but many have gotten into the charitable spirit and given more. Once we agree on an amount and method of payment, the music can start! And on the day of your event when our music stops, just hand us your checks (made out to the charities). It’s that easy.

The good news for you? When you pay us by contributing to our charities, your donations are tax deductible for you. We take no financial credit. All we ask is that you mention The Blue Flames on the "memo" line of your checks to help the charities connect us to you.
