Hello, my name is Sam Santangelo. I am 16 years old, and I live in Greenwich CT. I would like your help to fund a program I started called Guitars for Good. This program will aim to bring guitar access and education to students regardless of their income level.

The program will begin at the middle school I attended, Western Middle School. Western is a Title 1 school where 50% of the student body is diverse and 42% of students receive free or subsidized lunch. I loved my time at Western, and would like to give something back to this great school. I have arranged for the purchase of 10 discounted guitars. I am also working with a music professional on a curriculum, and I will have a professional instructor working along side me in the classroom. My plan is to provide high quality after school guitar instruction as well as the free use of a guitar and travel case to 10 students in the upcoming school year. I am working with the principal at Western Middle School and hope to build on this in the future.
