Report: KISS Guitarist Tommy Thayer Donates Hughes & Kettner Amp Royalties To Childrens Hospital Los Angeles

Hughes-and-kettner.com reports:
In May of this year we launched the "Tommy Thayer Signature Duotone Head" to coincide with KISS' Alive 35 World Tour. Tommy asked us to donate all his royalties from sales of this amp to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
Here he is meeting some of the senior physicians and staff during his recent visit to the hospital to present the first check to Mr. Henri Ford, Vice President, and Surgeon-in-Chief.
"Caring for children and their medical needs is so important to me. Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is dedicated to providing the highest quality pediatric care anywhere in the world and they make it happen every day," says Tommy.
We have already made a second production run of his signature amp, so another check is on its way.
Thanks Tommy for the support you give to Hughes & Kettner, and your kindness to donate your royalties to such an important cause.
