The Cigar Box Guitar Festival is a free event that raises money for music in schools through a raffle, sales of kids instrument building kits and the proceeds from the limited-edition commemorative guitar series. Funds raised are donated to Arts Huntsville's Creative Launchpad and the Microwave Dave Music Education Foundation. The following photos are examples of how the funds are used.
