We are extremely grateful to Wavy Gravy, and all of the musicians performing in support of Seva,” said Seva’s Executive Director, Jack Blanks. “Their generosity, along with donations from Bay Area audience members, will support Seva’s programs that restore sight to the blind, train doctors in places where there are few, and bring services to indigenous communities around the world.
