UPDATES
As you may (or may not) know, youth outreach is really where GPF wants to focus our efforts. We want to bring a message of prevention, awareness and education to school aged kids in an assembly type presentation through music and discussion. Our Board of Directors have been busy helping to make sure we are all on track and move forward in fulfilling our mission. Out main source of fundraising currently if our eBay charity auction where we have had incredible offerings to raise money for our programs. Some of the recent items included a signed guitar from the Black Keys, VIP tickets and Meet & Greets for artists like Coldplay, Dierks Bently and Jason Mraz. We couldn't make this happen without the support of our musicial community and friends, so thanks to you. Please visit our eBay page to share our auctions and bid yourselves at www.eBay.com/GramParsonsFoundation. If you have anything you'd like to donate to our auction, please contact us at info@gramparsonsfoundation.org.
We are also working on some upcoming fundraising ideas, but would love if your event could be a benefit to GPF. Please contact us on how we can work together to raise awareness and funds to move forward with our youth programs.
Look for more updates soon. Thanks for your support and for your time.....
