Our Foundation

We're all in this together.

Inspired by late Sublime front man Bradley Nowell, the Nowell Family Foundation provides addiction recovery services to the music community through the combined strength of the industry and those who have been touched by the power of music.

When Jakob Nowell (Bradley's son) got clean and sober, the plan to create the Nowell Family Foundation evolved. As Papa Nowell (Bradley's father) says, "We have finally found something we truly believe in doing – and that's helping others who are struggling with addiction."

Kellie Nowell (Bradley's sister), who is actively involved as the executive director, is dedicated to the growth of the Foundation and to ensuring its stability, allowing it to serve others for many years to come.

The Nowell Family Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation.

Provide Addiction Recovery Services

We support individuals on their journey to sobriety by offering accessible treatment, community outreach, and resources tailored specifically for musicians.

Raise Awareness & Reduce Stigma

Through education, advocacy, and events like sobriety festivals and benefit concerts, we break stigma, celebrate recovery, and raise vital funds for addiction services.

Foster Healing Through Music

Music is at the heart of what we do. By integrating music therapy into our recovery programs, we help individuals find strength, purpose, and hope on their path to sobriety.
