Gibson Gives, the charitable arm of iconic guitar manufacturer Gibson, is teaming up with Free Guitars 4 Kids to give away 200 guitars to kids in the greater Nashville metro area.  The event, presented by CLA Nashville, is set to take place on June 10th and is sure to be a day that will make a positive impact on the lives of many young people.  The kid who are selected to come and receive a guitar are part of over 12 different Nashville based nonprofits and schools.

FG4K believes that every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy and benefits of owning a musical instrument, regardless of their financial circumstances. Founded in June 2020, we are driven by the transformative power of music and its positive impact on a child’s life. Playing, composing, and performing songs unlock creativity, enhance cognitive abilities, and foster mental focus. By providing guitars to children, we empower them with the tools they need for productive and successful lives.

“We are very grateful to Gibson Gives for partnering to make this happen.  We are also grateful to our presenting sponsor CLA.  They have stepped up huge for this event.  We have a lot of groups who have helped make this possible including: Cici’s Pizza, Neal & Harwell, Sound Royalities and Fox Rothschild LLP.”  – Ben Dudley, FG4K Executive Director

The event will take place during the 2 year Anniversary events of the Gibson Garage.  Read the official press release here.
