Boys and Girls Club receives gift to the sound of a great tune
Boys and Girls Club receives gift to the sound of a great tune.
It's not every day you get something for nothing at a pawn shop, but it happened for officials with the Boys and Girls Club of St. Joseph County on Monday.
The group was the chosen recipient of the National Pawnbrokers Association’s second annual Musical Instrument Gift Day.
“We're giving these four gifts here, two electrical guitars and two acoustic guitars, with amplifiers,” said Tom Howard of Worldwide Jewelry and Pawn.
“At the Boys and Girls Club we utilize our arts program to give kids an opportunity to express themselves, individually so the instruments donated today by worldwide will allow us to achieve that mission with those kids,” said John Morgan of the Boys and Girls Club.
Monday’s gift to the St. Joseph County Boys and Girls club was valued at $1,500.
