Hollenbeck Middle School in Los Angeles, CA needs support for their music programs!
Story
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 Hollenbeck Middle School programs need your help! Sousaphones, trumpets, trombones, and brass mouthpieces are needed to reduce sharing.
"We are committed to providing music education across all genres of ensembles to students who seek to explore their musical passions, regardless of their background or previous experience. Throughout the day and between two music teachers, we serve over 300 students in various ensembles including Band, Orchestra, Mariachi, Indoor Drumline, Latin Band, Rock Band, and Music Technology. Any type of donation to our program gives students another opportunity to make music they would otherwise not have any access to." - Christian Melgoza, Music Teacher
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!
