The Acoustic Shoppe has announced the completion of its Memorial Day campaign for Guitars for Vets (G4V), surpassing its initial goal and donating 43 guitars to veterans. The campaign, which ran from Memorial Day through the end of June, raised significant funds and community awareness for the nonprofit’s mission to use music as a tool for healing.
The campaign included online donations, in-store contributions and a charity guitar auction. The original goal was to donate 25 guitars, and the final total of 43 was a direct result of the support of the The Acoustic Shoppe’s customers and community.
“We’ve seen firsthand how music can change lives, and Guitars for Vets embodies that mission,” said Jeremy Chapman, president and CEO of The Acoustic Shoppe. “This campaign allowed our customers, partners and broader community to help veterans heal through music, and we’re overwhelmed by the support. We are committed to growing this partnership and continuing to support the G4V mission for years to come.”
“I just wanted to extend my sincere gratitude to you and your brothers for putting together such a successful fundraiser,” said Eric Weinstein, executive director of Guitars for Vets. “All of us at G4V are grateful for this partnership and are looking forward to finding ways our organizations can continue working together.”
In addition to the financial success, the campaign effectively raised awareness about the G4V mission and provided multiple ways for people to get involved. The Acoustic Shoppe and its partners, Breedlove Guitars and D’Addario, remain committed to supporting G4V and its work with veterans.
