Story
Beckley Stratton Middle School's band program needs your help! The program is in need of French horns, flutes, clarinets, alto saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and a tuba to replace instruments that are aged beyond repair.
We need instruments to replace the ones that are too old to repair or cost too much money to fix them. All the instruments are very old, some are in need of many repairs, and some are not worth fixing." - Evangeline Bickford, Band Director
With generous and transformative support from Eddie Van Halen over the years and now continuing through his son Wolfgang, The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation is pleased to announce that the Van Halen Family has committed to kickstarting the Adopt A School campaign with a generous $1,000 donation towards each of the first 100 participating schools.
Schools participating in the Adopt A School campaign are qualified through the Foundation’s vetting and eligibility process, giving donors confidence that their investment is protected and sustainable, impacting students for a minimum of 10 years (the lifespan of an instrument in a school setting.) Donations made to this school’s fundraising campaign go directly to The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. The Foundation then purchases the specific instruments the school is in need of at a substantially discounted price and the instruments deliver directly to the school.
Donate today and help these students foster their love of music, every dollar counts!
