“Music changes a child’s life forever.” — James Burton

It is James’ mission through the Foundation to give children the lifelong gift of music to pass on for generations. The Foundation has given thousands of guitars, and provided musical instruction in hospitals and schools to children, young adults, and veterans.

The James Burton Foundation is a 501c3 organization.

Please, help keep the Foundation moving forward with a donation.
