It’s that time again, to nominate a child in need for my annual Morning X “Music Matters” campaign, with my friends at Flores Music in Peoria! This is my tenth anniversary year with this program, and I’m very thankful for that! The concept of this program is to give instruments to students, ages 6-17, who are in need in Central Illinois. Students who would love nothing more than the opportunity to receive a new guitar, or bass guitar, for the Holidays.

SO, how do you nominate a child? First, you can nominate and tell the story of any child that is deserving. This could be your own Son or Daughter, a niece, nephew, cousin, or, it could be the kid down the street who is on hard times. The point here is for you to tell me their story, and explain “why?” this child in particular would be deserving. The details are all here below, please complete the information, and hit SEND. I will receive each submission for consideration. Thank you in advance!

We will be surprising three students the week of Christmas with these amazing instruments! Again, we will be giving away TWO electric guitars, and one bass guitar this year for three students!  A HUGE “Thank you” to FLORES MUSIC in Peoria on War Memorial Drive, as we remember the legacy of Jesse Flores this year. Happy Holidays, let’s make a child’s Christmas amazing this year!
