The Travelling Guitar Program

I saw this programme at the Guitars in the Classroom webpage.  It is nice to see more of such initatives taking flight.

The mission of the Traveling Guitar is to fund music education and programmes for those unable to pursue these activities due to limited resources.

They have a two-prong approach for raising funds in support of their mission:

1)  The Traveling Guitar Program: 

1. Each year custom guitars will be built by Ballurio Guitars. These guitars will be built using materials from our sponsor,Northland Forest Products.  Each stage of the build will be photographed and shared via the Traveling Guitar Website.
2. Once built, the Guitar (the Traveling Guitar) will then spend the next year traveling around the country being play, signed and photographed by our Performing Sponsors.  Each stop will be photographed with photographs displayed on the Traveling Guitar Website.
3. At the end of the Traveling Guitar's year of travel, the guitar will be prepared and auction.
4. All (100%) of the proceeds from the on-line auction price will be donated directly to music based charities.

2) Guitar Donation and Auction Program:

1. All guitars donated, will have the setup and if needed, corrected and will then be auctioned online (eBay).
2. All (100%) of the proceeds from the auction price will be donated directly to the music based charities.

To contact them about a donation or sponsorship, please send e-mail to donations@travelingguitar.org or sponsors@travelingguitar.org.
