ABOUT THE MAMAS
The MAMAs (Madison Area Music Association) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to put instruments in the hands of kids who can't afford them. The awards ceremony is their high-profile event of the year, which is enjoyed by local musicians and fans alike, but ultimately serves their mission.
