The Charities

The T.J. Martell Foundation Where Music Brings Hope.

It began with a promise froma father to his dying son.

In 1973, a high school student named T.J. Martell was battling leukemia. He asked his father, music industry executive Tony Martell, to raise a million dollars for cancer research so that “no one else will have to experience what I am going through.” Although he had no fundraising experience, Tony agreed.

Two years later, T.J. died at the age of nineteen, and as Tony explains today, “that put my promise in cement.” Soon after, Tony was joined by many of his musician friends like Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington to hold a fundraiser at Buddy Rich’s nightclub in New York. They raised $50,000 and the T.J. Martell Foundation was born.

Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have worked passionately to help provide more than $250 million for leukemia, cancer and AIDS research. We are proud of our long history and our reputation for innovation in fundraising and the research we support.

The Foundation is headquartered in New York with divisions in Nashville covering the southeast and in Los Angeles covering the west coast.

Van Stephenson Memorial Fund.

In early 1999 BlackHawk founding member Van Stephenson was diagnosed with melanoma, the most severe form of skin cancer. Before his passing in 2001 his dying wish to Henry and Dave was that the band continue on, saying "there's a lot more music left in BlackHawk," and do all it can to help find a cure for cancer.

To honor this wish the Van Stephenson Memorial Cancer Research Fund was established in 2001. Contributions can be mailed to:

Van Stephenson Memorial Cancer Research Fund
c/o BlackHawk
PO Box 121804
Nashville TN 37212

Please make checks payable to "Van Stephenson Memorial Cancer Research Fund."

Awareness of this charity is elevated through the sale "Ships of Heaven" tee shirts as well as cute little bears both bearing Van's likeness. Available at BlackHawk concerts and on this website, 100% of the proceeds from these tees and lovable little critters go to cancer research.

Together, we can help the search for a cure for this devastating disease.

Our continued thanks to all for your support!
