What We Do-
Guitars are purchased at a discount from suppliers that understand what we are doing and want to help. Individuals may purchase guitars on our behalf through Guitarasaur.com, and direct that they are for donation purposes. Of course, donations of gently used guitars are certainly welcomed. Every penny we save is more for the kids!
We send requests to artists through their agents and contacts, asking them to sign our guitars and allow a photograph to be taken for authentication. To their credit most artists are more than willing to assist us in our efforts. Any artists wanting to sign for ASK are invited to contact us at artistssigningforkids@gmail.com
Sales occur at live special events, auctions, and our on-line store (coming soon!) Aside from the nominal expenses incurred, all revenue is passed on to our partner organizations, to benefit the children.
We currently office in a donated space and therefore have no expenses along those lines. In addition, our board of directors consists entirely of volunteers. We DO pay for staff at events when needed, but keep labor costs to a minimum by using volunteers whenever possible.
