mcgives.com Monterey County GIVES! 2024 39 Guitars Not Guns provides guitars and lessons to children in a classroom setting with volunteer instructors as an alternative to violence. Since 2010 the Monterey County chapter of GNG has served more than 3,000 children in Monterey County with over 20 volunteer instructors. In 2024 GNG donated 350 Yamaha Keith Urban acoustic guitars and Gator guitar cases to under-served schools in Monterey County. In 2025 we hope to do the same with electric guitars and amps. This year our MC Gives Big Idea is to donate electric guitars and amps to schools in need throughout Monterey County. Please help us keep music alive in our schools. “Music can heal. It can do more than ease pain. It can throw a lifeline to kids who can’t be reached in any other way.” –Paul McCartney Giving is appreciated, and giving time is the most valuable donation. Volunteer instructors needed. Will you help? GuitarsNotGuns.org steve.vagnini@guitarsnotguns.org • 831-601-9609 Photo credit to Randy Tunnell
