Doner Designs builds theme guitars to inspire kids who are fighting serious illness and to help raise funds to help fight childhood illness.  The military themes are not about war, they are about fighting illness.

Our guitars are donated to fundraiser auctions of major national charities.  Past projects have been donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Doner Designs donates 100% of the labor required to design and build our elaborate guitars. We also invest our own money toward tools and materials, but need help from others to fully cover the cost of materials and accessories.

Past theme projects include an Army guitar, an Air Force bass guitar a NASA guitar and a Navy Aircraft Carrier theme bass guitar (see photo).

For 2015/2016 we plan to do a USMC theme telecaster guitar after which we will have covered all branches of the military and then we will move on to other types of themes.

Our fundraising goal for the next project is $1,500. Some guitar parts makers donate or sell us components at dealer cost, but approximately half of each project needs to be covered by cash donations.  If fundraising exceeds the actual cost, any excess will be carried forward to our next project.

Thank you for joining the team!

Sincerely,

Steve and Richard Doner
