ABA Member John Livingston is organizing this fundraiser for Mark Jukich, President of the AZ Bluegrass Association, as a thank-you for the years of dedicated, selfless service Mark has given to bluegrass in Arizona. Mark has poured so much into the community, including helping start the only bluegrass festival in the Phoenix metro area. This fundraiser is a way to show Mark how much that commitment has meant to so many people and to give something back to someone who has given so much.

The funds raised will help send Mark to Del McCoury’s Pickin’ Party at the Wigwam Resort in Litchfield, Arizona, from January 2–5, 2027.  It is a special opportunity for Mark to learn from, play with, and enjoy performances by some of the best bluegrass musicians in the business. Support for this fundraiser will help cover the cost of making that trip possible and turn this thank-you into a meaningful gift of music, learning, and appreciation.

Please consider donating if you can to help reward Mark for everything he has done for the AZ Bluegrass Association and for bluegrass in Arizona. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help honor Mark’s hard work and generosity. Just as importantly, sharing this fundraiser and helping spread the word is another wonderful way to show support.
