UPDATE:
This campaign is FULLY FUNDED! To support schools that haven’t yet hit their goal, visit:
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.
The Dale Junior High School band program needs your help! Woodwinds, brass, percussion, guitars, keyboards, amps and marching drums are needed to allow additional students to enroll in the program, replace aged instruments that are beyond repair, to allow students to practice at home, and provide types of instruments not currently available.
“Band at Dale gives our students an opportunity to find a talent they never thought they had, have fun through learning music and then take total pride in their accomplishments. Our Lancer Band family continues to expand and change, as our supportive community gets more involved, by adding a marching band and chamber ensembles to meet their needs.” - Jodi Urquidez, Band Director
Schools participating in the Adopt A School campaign are qualified through MHOF’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 (MHOF). MHOF 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!
