Los Angeles' Top Guitarists Come Together For 'Guitarists Who Give A Damn' To Benefit Wounded Soldiers & Families!

LOS ANGELES (The Derby Nightclub PR) - The top Los Angeles area guitarists MARC SEAL, CESAR, TAZ TAYLOR, GIORGIO PRETTI, and songstress MEGAN MANORAM have come together for a night of guitar virtuosity and to support The Fisher House in a benefit entitled "Guitarists Who Give A Damn" at The Derby nightclub on Thursday, June 2nd.

The Fisher House (www.fisherhouse.org) program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.

Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

There is at least one Fisher House at every major military medical center to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment. Annually, the Fisher House program serves more than 8,500 families, and have made available more than 1,500,000 days of lodging to family members since the program originated in 1990. Based on a comparison of fees at a Fisher House (the average charge is less than $10 per family per day, with many locations offering rooms at no cost) with commercial lodging facilities in the same area, it is estimated that families have saved nearly $60 million by staying at a Fisher House since the program began.
