In Benjamin Xavier Rowe's memory, the Ben Rowe Project was established to provide artists and musicians the resources needed to express themselves while also providing community members opportunities to congregate in safe, loving, and accepting environments.
The Foundation has provided a “Sound Library”, including instruments, sound and other equipment for use by Albany-area musicians and bands, providing them with more opportunities to hone their skills and perform.
There have been several small benefit shows and there is a larger memorial benefit show planned for 1/6/24 featuring local Capitol Region musicians providing exposure, publicity, and awareness.
Donations and support go directly toward supplying the sound library, helping local musicians, and supporting necessary causes that work toward the prevention of gun violence and organizations that promote LGBTQIA+ acceptance and awareness.
