"At Green Bay West High School, located in the heart of Packer country mere miles from the Historic Lambeau field, our band and orchestra programs are thriving! Growing from 60 to 90 students in a few short years, our musicians are dedicated to building community through powerful performances.

However, due to recent budget cuts and aging equipment, we need your support to keep our music program flourishing. With so many new students eager to play, we are in urgent need of new instruments to provide everyone the opportunity to experience the joy of music.

Help us continue our journey of growth and excellence. Support the Green Bay West music program and invest in the future of our talented young musicians!" - Danielle Scherer, Music Educator

With the rapid growth over the last few years, the school is in need of celli, violas, flutes, alto saxophones, and a double French horn to reduce sharing, eliminate borrowing from other schools, replace aged instruments that are beyond repair, and allow additional students to participate.

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 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, every dollar counts!
