Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Building Stronger Drummers, One Beat at a Time! Our percussion students are eager to improve their skills, but they need proper drum pads and stands for effective practice. These tools help develop precision, technique, and rhythm without excessive noise, allowing students to practice anywhere. Without them, students struggle to refine their drumming fundamentals.

With your support, we can provide high-quality drum pads and stands that will enhance our percussionists' learning experience.

Your generosity will help them build confidence and master their craft. Thank you for giving our young musicians the tools they need to succeed!
