One Week to Go!

November 21, 2025

We're entering the final week of our campaign, and we're thrilled to have reached 67% of our $3,000 goal! $2,020 is an incredible achievement, and each cent of it will go towards improving the quality of our string instruments and enhancing our string students' educations.


Our goal for the next week is to reach 70%, and we're only $80 away!


If you've already supported us, the most helpful thing is to share our campaign with friends, family, and alumni. 


Thank you for being part of this community. Let's finish strong!


Go Pokes!

Week 3 Update!

November 13, 2025

Hello everyone!


It's incredible that we have raised $1,970 out of our $3,000 goal! Thank you to everyone who has donated and/or shared our message, we could not have achieved this much without you!

We have 15 days remaining on our PhilanthroPete. What we have is a great achievement already, and we want to see how much closer we can get to our goal in the last stretch of the campaign!


Thank you for your continued support of string activities here at OSU!

Week 2 Update!

November 07, 2025

Great news! Our String Area PhilanthroPete campaign has officially reached the halfway point!

Thank you to everyone who has donated and spread the word so far! We’ve raised $1,950, which is already 65% of our $3,000 goal! ???? That’s an amazing achievement in just the first half of the campaign. 

Please keep up the great work and continue sharing our message! Spreading the word to friends, family, alumni, and community members will help us reach others who believe in music education as much as we do.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and shared information about our PhilanthroPete! It's so exciting that only a week in we're 61% of the way to our $3,000 goal! Let's keep the momentum going!

Every share, every conversation, and every post helps us spread the word and reach our goal -- so keep up the great work!

The strings, and the rest of the OSU Symphony Orchestra, had a great concert on Friday! Quality performances like this are what your donations are supporting. Thank you, and Go Pokes!
