What is a Noise-A-Thon, you ask? Like a Walk-A-Thon but for practicing your Music or Sound!
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, each May Brett's Bass Fund challenges everyone who expresses themselves through sound to participate in our annual “Noise-A-Thon.". It’s been proven that practicing music is good for mental health. And participation is so easy! All you do is register, gather pledges, and then practice your chosen form of "noise" for 15 minutes a day throughout the month. REGISTER FOR THE 2026 Noise-A-Thon TODAY!
BY PARTICIPATING IN NOISE-A-THON - NOT ONLY DO YOU PRACTICE YOUR NOISE; YOU ARE A PART OF A COMMUNITY THAT IS PAYING IT FORWARD SO WE CAN CONTINUE OUR MISSION OF GIVING THE GIFT OF MUSIC!
About Us
About Us
Brett's Bass Fund was established in the memory of renowned bass player and garlic lover Brett Rothfeld. Brett played a range of music and played in bands such as Napalm, Fuzzbubble, The Plums, Brown Sabbath and Cousin Junebug. He worked with artists such as Mike Clink, Susannah Hoffs, Jimmy Page, and Mike DiNuzio.
The Fund
The mission of BBF is to provide resources to those who desire to learn the bass but may not have the resources or support. Through a nomination process, once a year the Fund will award individuals with scholarships which include a year's worth of bass lessons, a bass guitar and mentorship with professional musicians.
We would love your support!
Your contribution will enable us to support our mission - helping people through the power of music. We are very grateful for your generosity.
