Gibson Gives and JoyRx Music (formerly MyMusicRx) – the flagship program of the Children’s Cancer Association (CCA) – are joining forces for a second consecutive year to bring the healing power of music to kids facing cancer and other serious illnesses.
Starting September 1, the talented young Gibson Generation Group musicians, aka Gibson G3 will provide virtual music mentorship for the Children’s Cancer Association which serves children by sharing guitar lessons, and giving hospitalised kids the chance to learn how to play an instrument.
The performances and guitar lessons will be released throughout the year and can be viewed for free at JoyRxMusic.org/Gibson.
September marks Childhood Cancer Awareness month, and from September 1 through September 22, Gibson and JoyRx Music will release performances from eight-time Grammy winner Ziggy Marley (pictured below), Maná guitarist Sergio Vallín, and blues-rock, singer-songwriter-guitarist Emily Wolfe.
To raise additional funds for JoyRx Music, fans will be able to enter to win one of six Gibson, Epiphone and Kramer guitars and each winner will also receive a year-long subscription to the all-new Gibson App for interactive guitar lessons.
