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 Huntington Park High School band, orchestra, and mariachi programs need your help! Basses, cello, violas, tenor saxophones, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, guitarrons, and vihuelas are needed to allow additional students to enroll in the programs, eliminate instrument sharing, replace aged instruments that are beyond repair, and allow students to practice at home.
"Hidden within Huntington Park lies an abundance of untapped talent, long overdue for recognition. Through the incredible support of our community, these students have found their stage to flourish in music and the arts. I eagerly anticipate the remarkable journeys awaiting these gifted individuals." - Kelly Anthony, Band and Orchestra 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!
