About Me

The Guitar Center Music Foundation was created to take a stand against the loss of music programs in America. We work to support and educate the public on the value of a musical education. We provide resources to music programs, both public and private, throughout the country, so kids and adults alike can experience the joys of making music. With your help, we can make a difference in people's lives by providing them a gift that lasts a lifetime.

The Gift of Music is a benefit for The Guitar Center Music Foundation in its efforts to improve the state of music education across the country. This one-time event will include an art exhibit, live music, a silent auction and celebrity guests. The proceeds from this event will put instruments in school music programs, after-school programs for low-income youth and music programs for the physically and/or mentally disabled. With your help, we can make a difference in people's lives with a gift that lasts a lifetime.
The art exhibit will feature bold, saturated guitar giclees by Paul Thatcher; please visit Absolute Arts for a preview.
The live music, courtesy of Koffeehouse, will include jazz and emerging singer/songwriters Shawn Hlookoff, John West and Kari Kimmel.
The silent auction will feature pieces signed by Incubus, Mick Fleetwood, and Slash.
The foundation will also raffle off a guitar signed by celebrity and artist guests. Tickets cost $5 and can be purchased with admission.
All guests will have full access to meet the celebrities and musicians.

My Interests

GCMF raises money by selling signed memorabilia on www.guitarcentermusicfoundation.org, through in-kind donations and through charity events.

I'd like to meet:

GCMF would like to meet other people and bands who want to support music's presence in America.

Music:

“'Wreckage and the Noise' is about adversity and the way we cope and get through. I wrote it about a time in my life when music was my escape and a sense of release.

"For me, music has always been a way to relate, sustain and (as I wrote in the song) to keep my poise. I think all forms of art can serve that purpose, but music will always be the most relevant to me.

"I am a supporter of Guitar Center Music Foundation, and I am glad my song can contribute to their cause: that everybody should have the opportunity to make music."

--- Casey Todd

Television:

Shows starring our friends from Band from TV: Thank you for your generous donations!

Heroes:

Our heroes are the people who have kept music in schools, the musicians who have given us great music and the organizations that offer music's benefits to others.
