The Tecovas Employee Sample Sale was an incredible way to wrap up Support Local Music Month!

Last week, Tecovas' employees came together to donate $22,000 through their employee purchases. Their donations equate to $154,000 in healthcare services for Austin-area musicians through community partnerships, directly sustaining our local music scene.

We are deeply grateful for partners like Tecovas who believe in HAAM's vision of Austin musicians being the healthiest and most creative in the world. Donate to support the health of local music: https://www.myhaam.org/donate

It’s October 3rd. 💕📖

So naturally, we made a Burn Book.

The rumors are true: we’re really into helping Austin musicians access affordable healthcare and wellness services. Like, it’s kind of our whole thing.

Happy Mean Girls Day from the HAAM staff. 💋

P.S. You CAN sit with us.
