Company Overview
Our History
When Southwestern Pennsylvania drummer Sonny Pugar, after whom this organization is named, died in August 2004 after a six-year battle with colon cancer, his friends in the local music community literally banded together to produce a memorial concert. The money that was raised from this memorial concert in 2004 was donated to the music therapy program at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in Sonny's name.
