Read on."Excitement has been building for the upcoming 2025 Recording Industry Golf & Poker Tournament (RIGT), which will be held Monday, June 23, 2025, at Sand Canyon Country Club in Santa Clarita, CA, and event organizer Karen Dunn of KMD Productions, LLC, has announced a special new partner for this year’s Recording Industry Golf & Poker Tournament (RIGT): Altadena Musicians and its Instrumental Giving initiative," a statement released on Thursday reads. "Founded by acclaimed composer and musician Brandon Jay in partnership with the Creative Visions Foundation [a 501(c)(3) nonprofit], Altadena Musicians is an artist-led recovery effort that brings music back to life for those impacted by natural disasters, especially young and emerging artists, by putting instruments, gear, and vital resources back into their hands. Launched in response to the devastating California wildfires, including the Eaton fire that destroyed Jay’s home, studio, and nearly all of his family’s instruments, the initiative connects fire-impacted musicians with donors, retailers, and manufacturers through a streamlined gear replacement system modeled after a wedding registry. From guitars and keyboards to turntables and record collections, Altadena Musicians is committed to helping musicians of all ages and genres rebuild their creative lives.""This year’s RIGT will also serve as an official instrument drive drop-off to support the Instrumental Giving campaign," they continue. "Attendees are encouraged to bring instruments, gear, or records to donate and join the growing community of industry supporters helping to reignite creativity, one instrument at a time. Visit altadenamusicians.org for more information, to donate, or to apply for the registry."“Many members of the southern California music community were devasted by the wildfires earlier this year, and they lost precious gear and instruments. Partnering with Altadena Musicians is a small way for us to help the community heal and get back into the swing of making the music we love,” stated Dunn.More about the RIGT:"Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the event will see its shotgun start at 12:00 noon PDT and the Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament beginning at 2:00 p.m. Slots are available for players (golf, poker or both), sponsors and volunteers.""Since 2015, the RIGT has served as a fun retreat for L.A. recording industry veterans, but the past few years have also been attracting plenty of audio students and younger, emerging members of the community. In store, expect a chance at $1 million, a $10k hole-in-one prize, a $5000 putting contest, fun photo/social media content opportunities, and the 'Infamous Traveling Tequila Carts.' And returning is the Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament – always a popular highlight of the day’s festivities!""Sponsors include Audio Engineering Society, AKG, Apogee, ASG (Advanced Systems Group), Clyne Media, JBL, Lonely Feather Studios, Lurssen Mastering, PDI (Progressive Designs Inc.), the Recording Studio Insurance Program, SSL (Solid Stage Logic), studioespresso and Ultimate Ears Pro. There is still time left to sign up as a sponsor."Visit here to lock in your involvement, or contact Dunn directly at 925-708-0307 for more information.
