Earth Day Edition! April '11  

Halfway Mark Reached in Global Giving Challenge!

Keep Music Alive in K-8 Classrooms Nationwide

People from all over have come forth and participated in GITC's Project in the Global GIving April Challenge, successfully helping us raise over $2,400 from 57 different people! Truly, every little bit counts. Thousands of students will now benefit from daily music in their classrooms thanks to the folks who have extended a helping hand & shared the cause with family and friends.

But we're not there yet. We need to raise a total $4,000 to earn a permanent spot on Global Giving, which will help us stay healthy and our programs running strong. 

Do your part today and join us in the challenge to Keep Music Alive in K-8 Classrooms Nationwide.

Unique Yoga, Music & Photography Benefit for GITC in NYC

The Morrison Hotel Gallery has partnered with yoga instructor Alexandra Moga and the charity Guitars in the Classroom (GITC) to host a special series of open-level yoga classes at their Prince Street Loft in New York City's SoHo neighborhood.

A run of 10 classes have been slated to take place in conjunction with forthcoming photography exhibits shot by famed music photographers and featuring iconic images spanning the careers of some of music's most important artists. Yoga classes will be accompanied by tunes of the featured artist, giving participants a unique opportunity to experience these musicians from a wholly new perspective.

Tickets are $50 per class and each session will include entry into a raffle with gifts provided by various sponsors including Staple Design, jewelry by Guenevere Rodriguez, body care from Nama Products and items from the Morrison Hotel Boutique.

All participants will be offered post-yoga smoothies and refreshments courtesy of KIND Healthy Snacks and Vita Coco Water to enjoy while viewing the exhibit in a more traditional standing position.
