Austin Guitars teamed up with Mozingo Music to donate 14 guitars to the Play It Forward STL Organization for underprivileged kids. Based in St. Louis, Play It Forward works with other charitable organizations to provide for the needs of children in the St. Louis metro area.
“I was contacted by longtime friend and local celebrity, Johnny Holzum, of the band Well Hungarians and the John T Holzum Foundation about helping this great organization,” says Rich Dumstorff, VP of SLM Marketplace. “After looking at the website, we realized that our good friends at Mozingo Music here in St. Louis have been longtime supporters of Play It Forward. It’s a natural fit for us to work with them to help Play It Forward with this incredible endeavor.”
Austin presented the guitars at the Children’s Home and Aid office in Granite City Illinois during the Play it Forward “Liam’s Christmas Guitars” event.
