Help Michael DeLano compete at the IBC in Memphis!
Donation protected
At 17-years-old and only a senior in high school, Michael DeLano has earned the distinct honor of competing in the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN, in January 2020.
Michael competed and won the region's solo challenge and was also chosen to by the WNY Blues Society as the year's Youth Showcase winner, meaning he will represent all of WNY on the international stage!
Help us send Michael from Buffalo to Memphis and support him on his journey to compete with, and learn from, some of the world's best blues musicians! This is an opportunity of a lifetime for a young musician and Michael has been preparing and practicing so hard to compete at such an elite level.
Money raised goes directly towards travel, lodging and equipment expenses for Michael's trip to Memphis (and his parents since he's not old enough to perform in Beale Street's legendary clubs and juke joints without parental supervision). We are immensely grateful to anyone who can contribute even the smallest amount. We're also grateful for anyone who can help by sharing the fundraiser to their social media, and with their friends and family!
Thank you to every one of you who has supported Michael along the way. We are filled with gratitude and gratefulness for every one of you who has been there for his journey!
