Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our project, "Harmony in Progress," aims to ignite a passion for music in young students by providing them necessary supplies in our beginning band program. With your support, we will provide essential supplies and materials needed to start our students, including brass, woodwind, and percussion sections, and method books. By offering this opportunity, we aim to cultivate creativity, discipline, and teamwork among our students, setting them on a path of musical discovery and personal growth. Your generous contribution will directly impact the lives of aspiring musicians, creating a foundation for a lifetime appreciation of music. Join us in building a harmonious future through the power of music!
