  • Amp Us Up!

    Funded Mar 28, 2023

    The fight for quality music education in our schools is an ongoing one. It is a fight against bureaucracy, against politics, against indifference, and against the narrow dogma offered up by too many of our leaders regarding education policy.

    Yet, despite all that, over the past month I have been filled with hope. All of you have demonstrated your tremendous heart, generosity, and wisdom by investing in my students. I promise you - they won't let you down. They really are musical kids who LOVE to perform. Your donation will help our music program to continue and to thrive.

    It has been so FUN to see so many people from different corners of my life coming together for this cause, and it has been so AMAZING to receive such compassion from people who I will never meet.

    Please remember, even though the world has its problems, the world also has YOU! And you're the kind of person who makes a difference.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Luft
