It’s a simple idea. We call it Performance Philanthropy. We give stuff to people in order to make the world a better place.
We recruited 10 of the leading artists in NYC to decorate a Kala Ukulele. We awarded those ukuleles to: " The 10 Most Important People In The World".
Why would we do such a thing?
We hold this truth to be self-evident — if every citizen spent a little bit of time playing the ukulele, the world would be a nicer place.
We hope that all the recipients will accept our gift in the same spirt as it is given.
It’s a little like a Nobel Prize… Only useful.
