When you donate $50 to Little Kids Rock, you your gift puts a brand new guitar into a child’s hands, but did you know that your donation also helps children find their voices… literally?

Nancy Robles grew up in Dallas, TX with a severe speech impediment that causes her to stutter in between words…

Two years ago, Nancy broke free from her insecurities and sang publicly for the first time when she submitted an original composition to the annual Little Kids Rock songwriting exhibition. Her teacher noticed something that amazed him and Nancy – her speech impediment completely went away when she sang!

More than a decade ago, Carlos Santana’s Milagro Foundation made a donation of a dozen electric guitars to an underfunded classroom in California. That donation helped launch the largest, free instrumental music program in the U.S. public schools – Little Kids Rock! And to bring this support full circle, an elementary school in Los Angeles that will host all of the city’s Little Kids Rock free teacher trainings, was recently renamed Carlos Santana Arts Academy and the legend himself was there Monday for the renaming ceremony!
