Portsmouth Herald News has issued the following report:

A charitable foundation in memory of singer and humanitarian BRAD DELP was established to carry on his spirit and legacy of compassion, generosity and kindness.

Delp was lead singer for the bands BOSTON and BEATLE JUICE. Foundation spokesman Bill Faulkner said the idea came from Brad's adult children, Jennifer and John Michael, as a way to honor their father.

"To honor our father's memory, the foundation will give grants to in-need school systems, programs and individuals that provide music education," said Jennifer and John Michael.

Funding in the form of grants and scholarships will also be given to individuals that desire to continue their own musical education. Donations can be made to: The Brad Delp Foundation, P.O. Box 1046, Lynnfield, MA 01940.

Delp, lead singer for the bands Boston and Beatle Juice, was well known as a gifted singer and a caring person. As gifted a performer as he was, Delp is remembered as a far better person by family, close friends, bandmates and fans around the world, Faulkner said.

Donations can be made to: The Brad Delp Foundation, P.O. Box 1046, Lynnfield, MA 01940.
