Guitars 4 Gifts

Posted on by Nashville by Nicole

Guitars 4 Gifts, or G4G gives guitars to underprivileged youth through established organizations. To date, we have given away over 50 guitars and a keyboard.
G4G was started in 2012 with giving away guitars to a Christmas basket. Since then, G4G has given guitars away to organizations such as Kids on Stage Summer Academy, W.O. Smith School of Music, The Ronald McDonald House, the Music Therapy Program at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, and The Boys and Girls Clubs of Rutherford County. We have given away guitars to youth in China and in Africa.
