    On behalf of my school, I extend heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of school supplies. Your support ensures our students have the tools they need to thrive academically.

  • Student Violins

    Funded Jan 13, 2023

    Thank you so much for your donation! The violins arrived and were immediately put to good use! The students who got to use them were very excited about how good they sounded while playing the new instruments. The instruments they were using before were beat up and difficult to use, but they really enjoyed being able to make a good sound for making great music! These instruments will go on to be used by many children in my program. Future students will benefit from your generosity, as these instruments will be used by students who cannot necessarily afford renting a quality instrument on their own.”

    Mr. West

    Thank you so much for your donation! Because of you we can continue to make beautiful music for our community!
