The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation
Prescott Elementary School
Prescott Elementary School in Portland, OR needs support for their music program.
Story
Prescott Elementary School needs your help! The program is in need of keyboards and keyboard accessories to replace low quality and broken instruments and reduce sharing.
Remember that shy student who barely spoke up in class? Through music, they found their voice. With each practice, they grew bolder, their confidence soaring with every note. Now, they're not just a student; they're a musician, a leader, and an inspiration to us all. Your support will help us empower more students like them, turning their dreams into reality. - Mx. Aurelian Boudreaux, Music Teacher
A donation of new instruments will eliminate students having to take turns playing in class due to sharing instruments. Additionally, aged, broken instruments will be replaced with new to better support student learning and progression. Mx. Boudreaux shared that new keyboards will also provide pure joy to students, enhancing their musical experience.
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 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, every dollar counts!
