E. Otis Vaughn Middle School Music Program
Organised by Mr. Holland's Opus FoundationE. Otis Vaughn Middle School in Reno, NV needs support for their music programs.
Story
E. Otis Vaughn Middle School's music program needs your help! The programs are in need of classical guitars, flutes, clarinets, and saxophones to replace aged instruments that are beyond repair and allow additional students to participate.
With building up the guitar program, strengthening our band program, and starting up a new Mariachi program this next year, Instrument donations would truly help us become successful and for our students to feel encouraged and valued. With the 100% Title 1 demographic at our school, playing on old or broken instruments just continues feeding into our students discouragement of education, these new instruments could really help eliminate that systematic feeling our students feel and start embracing the education we're providing them. We are really thankful for your consideration. - Mr. Cloyd
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!
