“Guitars for Vets has provided over 6,000 guitars and 60,000 lessons to U.S. Military Veterans living with Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD),” adds Eric Weinstein, Executive Director, Guitars for Vets. “Our 800 plus volunteers throughout the nation are dedicated to bringing this program to every Veteran that seeks our support. Business Corporations and individuals continue to demonstrate their generosity and patriotism by supporting G4V and many lives will be enriched by the G4V mission.”
“We are looking forward to helping those who have volunteered to sacrifice so much for us. For without them we have nothing,” says G4V Ambassadors Joey and Krista Belladonna.
Guitars For Vets (G4V) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that supports U.S. military veterans living with the challenges of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by providing them with free guitars and lessons. To date, G4V and its more than 800 volunteers have gifted nearly 6,000 new guitars and 60,000 music lessons to those that have endured the wounds of war. All of the instruments and accessories are provided free of charge to the Veterans in the program, but the cost must be met through donations of money and guitars.
“Patience, acceptance, gratitude, empathy (PAGE), are the guiding principles of the Guitars for Vets mission and the guitar is the catalyst for positive human interaction.” – G4V Cofounder Patrick Nettesheim
