Fresh Start Surgical Gifts

Our goal is to raise $1000.00 this summer for Fresh Start Surgical Gifts.

Current total: $436.00!
Next goal - we want to get that red line
going up the guitar neck!

They're a really deserving local charity that someone told us about a few months ago. We're also going to work on finding some matching funds for the money we raise that would be given to Fresh Start in the form of checks paid directly to them.

Check out our Guitar Graph on our home page, it shows how much progress we've made. Thanks to all the people who have donated so far!


Fresh Start Surgical Gifts is a local charity based in Carlsbad, California. They organize reconstructive surgery for children who are underpriveliged or underinsured, treating both children from the U.S. and internationally. There's a long line of kids waiting for Fresh Start surgery.

Insurance companies will often not cover facial surgery, even when it's desperately needed after burns or accidents, or for kids with extreme physical deformities if the child is healthy in every other way.

Fresh Start asks top surgeons to donate their time and facilities entirely for free to do this good work. 100% of all donations to Fresh Start Surgical Gifts goes to their medical program.

We like these people a LOT and when some money does come our way for our performances they get it all!
