KORG USA, Inc. partnered with Shine a Light music series, an organization that provides care for individuals with special needs, at a recent charity event with Taking Back Sunday. The band, who is currently embarking on their 20th anniversary world tour, performed an intimate set to help raise funds to build “Mr. B’s playground,” an inclusive space made for children with special needs. In total, the event raised $25,000 from attendee donations and a silent gear auction.
“After an intense bidding war between fans, we were able to raise an additional $3600 for the cause thanks to the generous donations from Fender, Floating Forest Pedals and VOX Amplification, who donated an AC10C1 guitar amplifier. We are grateful to the many companies that showed their support, including KORG USA, Inc. and of course to Taking Back Sunday, for playing this show in my brother Tommy’s memory,” says Martin Brull, event organizer.
Back-lining the Long Island based band was a rig of VOX AC30’s, as well as a Crush Sublime Maple ST drum kit.
