Betty Boards Foundation Online Auction: Support Legendary Grateful Dead Engineer Betty Cantor-Jackson
The Betty Boards Foundation, a charitable organization created by Music’s Promise and Positive Legacy, is hosting an online auction to raise funds for legendary Grateful Dead audio engineer Betty Cantor-Jackson.

The Betty Boards Foundation was established by Betty Cantor-Jackson and her friends to provide financial support to women in the live music industry facing hardships. The Foundation aims to help women in the music industry regain their independence, enhance their skills, and thrive both personally and professionally. Cantor-Jackson will be the first recipient of the Foundation's support, following a successful GoFundMe campaign launched earlier this year.
