FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boca Raton, FL — March 2, 2026 — Grateful Guitars Foundation will honor South Florida musician Joni Bottari during a special benefit concert on March 21, 2026, at Crazy Uncle Mike’s in Boca Raton. The evening will celebrate Bottari’s ongoing contributions to the regional music community while supporting the mission of Volta Music Foundation through a $5,000 charitable donation.
Bottari, known for her work with Spiral Light and Brown Eyed Women, will be recognized with the gift of a Leo Elliott/Scarlet Fire Guitars ultra-light, set-neck “Wolf” guitar in honor of her artistic leadership and dedication to the South Florida music scene. Her work reflects a commitment not only to performance excellence, but to fostering connection and community through live music.
In addition to honoring Bottari, Grateful Guitars Foundation will present a $5,000 donation to Volta Music Foundation to expand access to tuition-free music education for underserved youth across South Florida. The contribution directly supports Volta’s after-school programs, outreach initiatives, and performance opportunities designed to empower young musicians.
“This evening represents what makes our music community so powerful,” said organizers of the event. “When artists, venues, nonprofits, and supporters come together, we create impact that extends far beyond the stage.”
The March 21 concert at Crazy Uncle Mike’s will bring together music lovers, community leaders, and supporters for a night that celebrates both artistry and purpose. Proceeds and donations from the event will further strengthen Volta’s mission of delivering transformative music education experiences to students who might not otherwise have access.
