You can donate more than just money. If you have any old instruments that you aren’t using sitting around in the basement, or combo amps, or even a fresh pack of guitar strings would help tremendously. Contact Kenny@ciceros-stl.com any time to make a donation. Thanks!

What part of NO EARLY BIRDS don’t you understand?
Charity sidewalk sale at 11 AM.
