About Us

The Jeremy Wilson Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to helping uninsured and underinsured NW area musicians and their families in times of medical crisis. The Foundation also aims to aid musicians and their families in obtaining day-to-day health care through education and referrals to assist them in acquiring adequate healthcare and insurance.

The Foundation’s namesake, musician Jeremy Wilson (The Dharma Bums, Pilot) formed the foundation
because of his personal experiences since being diagnosed with a serious congenital heart condition
called Wolf-Parkinson-White. He has learned, by what Wilson calls “his education by fire,” all about
the need for adequate health care for our community of musicians. And because of the great
outpouring of goodwill he experienced from those that have helped him through his own trial these
last four years, he wants to pay forward the same goodwill to others.

With the help of an incredible cast of friends, well-wishers, music fans, industry professionals and others, Wilson has formed this Foundation. Let’s raise the quality of life for all by helping those that make the sound tracks of our lives be healthy and happy!
