Ran in to one of my students from years ago at the cancer center; he actually remembered me and still has his G4V patch on his jacket😎. Hoping he will join us at group on the 2nd Thursday of each month in the near future. A truly rewarding experience that definitely made my day 🎸😎. THANKS BOB

THANKYOU GPB

The Green Bay Packers Supporting Veterans Where It All Began

We’re thrilled to share that the Green Bay Packers have awarded Guitars for Vets a $125,000 Veterans Impact Grant.

Wisconsin is where our organization was founded nearly two decades ago, and today we continue to serve Veterans across the state. This generous support will help us provide free guitar instruction, instruments, and music programming for Wisconsin Veterans living with PTSD and other challenges.

Together, we’re helping Veterans find healing, connection, and renewed purpose right here, where Guitars for Vets calls 'home'.

“We are deeply grateful to the Green Bay Packers for this extraordinary investment in our Veterans,” said Anthony Paolino, President of the Guitars for Vets Board of Directors “This generous support will directly expand access to our music instruction and therapeutic programming across Wisconsin, ensuring more Veterans can find healing, connection, and renewed purpose through the power of music and community. The Packers organization continues to demonstrate what it truly means to stand with those who have served. Together, we are changing and, in many cases, saving lives right here in Wisconsin.”
