Your support has made an immediate and powerful impact on our students.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, more students now have the opportunity to pick up an instrument, plug in, and experience what it feels like to be part of a real band. These guitars and amps have transformed our rehearsals - students who were once hesitant are now confident, engaged, and excited to create music together.\r\n\r\nBeyond learning chords and rhythms, your gift is helping students build teamwork, resilience, and self-expression. For many of them, this club has become a place to relieve stress, connect with peers, and grow emotionally as well as musically. The positive effect on their confidence and mental well-being is something we see every day.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your belief in our students and in the power of music education. Thanks to you, their voices are louder, their smiles are brighter, and their future feels full of possibility.","fullyFundedDate":1761844218964,"projectUrl":"project/rock-the-future-support-the-ub-rock-mus/9717618/","projectTitle":"Rock the Future: Support The UB Rock Music Program","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vadas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7713736_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x354,y210&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757982406163","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7713736"},{"teacherId":1655960,"projectId":9659704,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my project.
