“We want all musicians in Austin to know that they are welcome to call SIMS when they need a little help. SIMS can refer them to a therapist in the SIMS provider network or they can refer them to other community resources that can help in times of crisis or stress.”

Presenting Office Tune-ups
A one-of-a-kind fundraising series brought to you by the SIMS Foundation and Gibson Guitar
Your Office. Their Stage.
Gibson Guitar and the SIMS Foundation are launching a fundraising series like no other. We bring one of Austin’s finest musicians into your office for a private happy hour party during the holidays in return for a donation to SIMS. The small, intimate gathering of your choice is provided free appetizers, beer and other beverages while they enjoy an unforgettable performance.
How it Works
- You choose from a menu of dates, each one featuring a different high caliber artist
- You choose from one of two packages and donation levels:
- Level 1 (50 or less attendees)
- Level 2 (Up to 100 attendees)
- At both levels, you will receive radio spots read by a KGSR artist promoting your business.
- You’ll receive an intimate live performance by one of the following artists: Ray Benson, Patrice Pike, Guy Forsyth, Randy Weeks , Carolyn Wonderland, Fastball and The Gourds.
- Your guests can enjoy complimentary beverages and casual snacks as the performer puts on an unforgettable private show in your conference room, office or lobby.
- The bus rolls out after two hours, leaving your guests with lasting memories.
Be a Hero
Imagine an Austin legend seated on the edge of your conference table with his or her guitar, giving your guests a one-of-a-kind musical experience. And you’ll also be supporting the SIMS Foundation, Austin’s one-of-a-kind charity.
To schedule an Office Tune Up, call Mo Stoycoff, SIMS Director of Development, at 512-472-1008 or email mstoycoff@nospam.simsfoundation.org.
