Acura has been presenting sponsor of the Trombone Shorty Foundation for over two decades, helping to support the New Orleans music and arts scene. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Acura's partnership with the foundation, which provides year-round support for music education, mentorship, and cultural preservation. The foundation was founded in 2012 when New Orleans was recovering from Hurricane Katrina and began to gentify the cultural and music landscape. The partnership allows the foundation to serve far more young musicians and create opportunities for cultural preservation throughout the year. As the official transportation partner of the Shorty foundation, Acura provides free transportation so students can participate year-long.
