Project: Cure

Fighting for a Cure through Music

Have you ever seen the light in a child’s eyes go dim? Have you ever felt like you were alone in the midst of your own personal storm? Have you ever felt like you wanted to help someone through a difficult time – but didn’t know how you could make a difference? If you are a musician – and you have the desire to make a difference, here is your chance.

Project: Cure was born from an idea Mark Eshbaugh presented to Stefani Bush. Eshbaugh, a professional artist, musician and a close friend to the Bush family, continually wondered "How can I help?". With no money to donate and inability to give blood, he found an answer in his music background with Stefani's considerable help. Stefani and Ralph Bush are dedicated parents to 2 beautiful warriors who battle their own life threatening/chronic illnesses. After many conversations together about the heartache, the loneliness, and the fear that a parent can encounter in the face of the unknown, Project: Cure was born. Together they forged an alliance to make a difference for individuals facing chronic, life-threatening, and/or terminal illnesses.

Project: Cure has a vision to provide families or individuals in their time of need with an outlet (music) that they can relate to, gain strength and encouragement from, while also donating all of the proceeds to specific foundations: The Immune Deficiency Foundation, National Ataxia Foundation, and the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation. Our goal as the series gains momentum is to put out annual compilations each supporting new charities (in addition to the current three) to raise funds and awareness of illnesses that many familes are facing on a daily basis.
