James Burton Foundation & Fender

FenderThe James Burton Foundation is thrilled to have recently partnered up with Fender
to provide guitars for kids in school programs in Louisiana and Kentucky.

Federal funding for the arts is being cut at an alarming rate, so filling the gap for these kids is more important than ever before.

If you’d like to help us and make a donation that will go towards providing guitars to kids in schools and hospitals, please visit paypal.com
