We're no strangers to the power and fury of wildfires. Being based in Colorado, we have seen our share. Just three short years ago, the Marshall fire devastated nearby Boulder County. We helped raise money for those affected by donating jewelry to the Blues for Boulder benefit concert. Now, we are focused on helping our friends in Southern California.

Over the years, we have traveled to SoCal many times. It's not a stretch to say Retuned wouldn't exist without getting to know the amazing people from the area. We have taken inspiration from their lives and their stories.

Once again, we'd like to help in the best way we know how; by auctioning off jewelry we make from artists' guitar strings and donating the money raised to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund.

So, how can you help?

·  First and foremost, if you are an artist, we need strings! If you have strings to donate and would like to be part of the auctions, awesome!

·  Second, reach out to your contacts (big and small) to see if they have strings they would donate. Then get their fans excited about buying jewelry made from those strings. Obviously, the bigger the artist/band, the more money we can raise. But we’re not picky. If they have a loyal fan base that would like a cool way to show off their fandom, we want their strings!

·  Ask them to pass on our mission and information to people they know. Then those people pass it on to people they know, and soon. Our success hinges on how many people we can reach!

·  Help spread our mission and/or share our posts on social media using the hashtag #StringTogether. Again, the more people we reach, the more money we can raise for the live music industry!

·  If you are a fan, share our mission and information with your favorite artists and bands. Tweet them. Hit them up on Instagram and Facebook. Snail mail them. Whatever it takes.

The two of us can’t do it alone. We need you (and your contacts)! We need your help spreading of the word! 

Please, please, please help us support the people of Southern California.
