Campaign by Story
The Hickman Mills Middle School music program needs your help! The music program has grown substantially since the 24-25 school year, with 55% more students enrolled in orchestra and 53% more students enrolled in band. With 95% of the students unable to provide their own instruments, school-provided instruments are a must to ensure every student can play.
Over the past few years, we have prided ourselves in providing an instrument for every student at no cost, but now the program is growing faster than our inventory which is an awesome problem to have!" - Melody Holliday, Hickman Mills Middle School Music Teacher
By donating to their campaign page, you can help put celli, violins, violas, trumpets, bell kits, and trombones into the hands of a Hickman Mills Middle School student!
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.
Schools participating in the Adopt A School campaign are qualified through the Foundation’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. The Foundation 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, every dollar counts!
