IMPACT & SUCCESS

We are more than honored to have been chosen for such an amazing and generous gift that I know will open doors of opportunity for our students.  Charlotte East Language Academy is a hidden gem full of some of the most creative and talented children who have always just needed to be given the opportunity to showcase those talents for others. I know that they and our teachers will take full advantage of this opportunity to change families’ lives!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“The instruments have been a big help! The saxophones came just in time to replace a few much older ones that need a lot of repairs. One eighth grade violinist was very excited to not have to share her instrument with students from the two sixth grade classes anymore, and now they don’t have to trade off days that they can take the instrument home to practice.”
-Danny Jones, Knox Middle School (San Diego, CA)

“I just want to say thank you for the important work you are doing. This grant will literally replace around 10 years of fundraising efforts for my students and parents. We can now invest that money directly into instruction and performance opportunities. I have no doubt you know firsthand the challenges of maintaining an adequate inventory for a large band program with little to no financial support outside of what the students are able to fundraise.”
-Keith Heim, Gladeville Middle School (Mt. Juliet, TN)
