How It Works
On March 25th, our volunteer golfers are putting their skills and endurance to the test. They’ll be playing 100 holes to support Lead Guitar, a music education nonprofit that establishes free and sustainable guitar classes in public schools with the lowest access to the arts. Their task won’t be easy, but we know they can do it with your help! To pledge in support of one of our golfers, click on the blue 'DONATE' button above.

Why Support Lead Guitar
It’s a fact. Students who participate in school music programs have better attendance, make better grades, and are more likely to attend college and have more lucrative careers than students who do not participate in school music programs. Using music and a relatable instrument, Lead Guitar students learn technique, music-reading, theory, performance skills, and ensemble-playing. They develop discipline, self-esteem, and the ability to work as a team—attributes that help them realize success throughout their lives.
By developing a program that mirrors the curricular integrity of the best band and orchestra programs but appeals to students not traditionally drawn to those programs, Lead Guitar offers all of the benefits of a high-quality instrumental music education to thousands of students who would otherwise not receive them. Lead Guitar currently serves more than 7,500 students across 6 different states; your contribution can help us bring arts education opportunities to the kids who need it most.
