Help Us 'Bring the Bass' To Our Music Program!

Help me give my students a bass guitar for our music program! We have an after-school program where 60 to 73 students show up daily. We practice singing, guitar, and piano, but are missing a bass guitar!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Louie's classroom raised $947

My Project

We have 60 to 75 enthusiastic students who show up daily for our after-school music, art, dancing, social-emotional learning, and tutoring program 4 days a week. After tutoring the students from kinder to 6th grade look forward to our enrichment activities.

Students in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades are having fun learning how to play the piano, guitar, drums, as well as singing.

The only thing missing in our music program is a bass guitar! Having a bass guitar will complete our sound and help bring our music to life!
