With just one day left in our campaign, we still need your help to reach our goal of raising $4000 for student scholarships.
Most families cannot afford to send their students to summer music programs; we were able to award over $5000 of scholarships to students last year. Will you help us reach these incredible students again this year?
With your help, we can make it possible for students to experience making music with others who share their passion for this art.
With your help, after attending our camp, a student might decide that they want to become a music teacher and give back to their community.
That's what happened for Nicole, featured in the attached video. Now, she is an OSU Cowboy, working toward her Music Education degree and already positively affecting the lives of other students.
