Story

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 Glen Park Elementary School general music program needs your help! Keyboards, headphones, ukuleles, hand drums, and acoustic guitars are needed to reduce sharing and allow more students to participate in the program.

"The music program at Glen Park Elementary has been very rewarding. My students are all very cooperative and eager to learn more each day. The impact of a donation from Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation will have an enormous impact on the music program. The extra resources will enhance their ability and performance potential." - Wilbert Solomon, 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!
