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

Calling all fellow band nerds (and those who love them) to help us expand access to our band curriculum, ensuring every student can experience the transformative power of music, regardless of their zip code. Band programs not only foster essential life skills like discipline, teamwork, and perseverance but also spark creativity and enhance academic performance. To achieve this vision, we need your support! Your generous donations will help us provide music literature and instrument accessories like reeds to all our band kids, making inclusivity and equal opportunity a reality. Join us in empowering our young musicians to develop leadership and citizenship qualities through the joy of music. Together, we can make a significant difference in their lives and our community.
