The Pick Me Up Foundation collected close to 250 instruments since November 2014. The vast majority of the instruments were in good shape but they still must be reconditioned before they can be given to future musicians. Reconditioning cost on average it cost $50 per instrument so we are looking to raise $12,500 for this effort. Brian Reed has organized a Baltimore to Buffalo charity bike ride to help raise money for instrument reconditioning. The bike ride is 400 miles Brian will start off in July 2015. The Goo Goo Dolls have generously donated a signed guitar to help in our fundraising efforts. The larger the pledge the more chances you have to win the guitar.
