My Project

I have multiple students who can not afford to be in a band because they can not afford to buy or rent an instrument, and I do not have enough to provide for all the students. I will loan my instruments to those students so they can participate. I am trying to rebuild a program that was failing. I am requesting an alto saxophone and a flute to help with some of the student costs. I am also requesting a mixer as the one my school currently has is broken and does not work very well, and my choir needs a reliable audio source.

My students deserve to have the opportunity to participate in an ensemble despite financial hardships.

Ensembles provide many benefits to kids, including learning how to work as a team, a feeling of belonging, and social benefits. These instruments will allow more kids to participate without needing their instruments.

Thank you for considering donating to this significant cause. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. The kids, the school, and I are so grateful for this opportunity.
