2. Visit an Instrument Drive donation center near you on Saturday, October 7 with a donation from the list of needed instruments.

3. Feel great & celebrate! Because of your generosity, a young musician will now be one step closer to realizing their musical dreams.

 

Following the October 7 drive, donations will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis at the McIntosh|Goodrich mansion.
