“As I said before. Thank you is not big enough, incredible is not incredible enough and amazing is not amazing enough. I am honored, humbled and grateful for the love shown to me and Robin. It is my hope that in the future as I continue to heal and get back to playing music, that I can pass on that huge amount of love I received to others. Whether it be for folks in the music community, family, friends or fans, I want to give back what has been shown to me,” shares John Berry. “I am so happy that Music Health Alliance is a recipient of all the love shown from the special night. MHA has been there for my family for several years, providing answers and assistance for all our health insurance needs.”

“For most of our  lives John Berry’s music has touched our hearts,” stated CEO/Founder; Tatum Allsep.  “Now the generosity of John and Robin Berry will enable Music Health Alliance to heal the hearts of music makers as well. We are profoundly grateful.”
