Give instruments a second life
Our friends at Sun Lakes, AZ have something really cool going, and now CCA is going to do its part. They are working with the East Valley Marine Corps League Detachment #1296 of Sun Lakes to collect musical instruments for our wounded warriors.
Music therapy helps people deal with stress, manage anxiety, improve communication and memory, and can even help a person learn how to re-use a limb. Its something that works, and this is a perfect way to get rid of that old guitar that you’ve had lying around in the spare bedroom that you’ll start playing again “when you get a minute”. I hate to sound preachy, but the reality is that our soldiers have given all they can, and then some. If you have a spare or old instrument, can you give that?
The instruments do not need to be in perfect condition, because #1296 has ways and means to repair them.
If you have an instrument that you’re looking to give up, or know someone who does, my email is caitie.quick@chandleraz.gov
