Queens of the Stone Age have launched The Sweet Stuff Foundation, benefitting career musicians, recording engineers and their families struggling with illness and disability. Also involved are members of Jimmy Eat World and Paramore as well as a recent social media backing from Foo Fighters.

Read the full mission statement below:

The mission of The Sweet Stuff Foundation is to help our musical community and their families with the vital elements often overlooked during periods of illness and disability. Things like transportation to medical treatment, assistance with childcare and tuition, income assistance, the “last wishes” of a lifetime, and special treatments not covered by insurance. The healing power of music is also a vital form of preventative medicine. That’s why the Sweet Stuff Foundation’s two prong approach is also committed to providing assistance for music lessons, instruments, and musical collaborations for children. To help foster an atmosphere of creativity & introduce a healthy outlet via music, so that the “Sweet Stuff’ will continue for generations to come.

The foundation will be auctioning off several items in the coming months including a signed guitar from the 2014 Grammy Awards which featured a performance from QOTSA’s Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor and Lindsey Buckingham.
