Instrument Drive
Your gently used instruments will help area kids
#BeInstrumental by donating gently used musical instruments and equipment for Milwaukee’s young musicians! Following the October 7 drive, donated instruments will be cleaned, repaired, provided with new cases, and given to at-need students and schools throughout Southeast Wisconsin.
Saturday, October 7
How to Donate
1. Anyone who would like to make a difference in the lives of Milwaukee’s young musicians are encouraged to make a donation to the Instrument Repair Fund. Donated instruments require an average of $200 in repairs before they can be awarded to a student.
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.

Don’t have a musical instrument?
Your gift will repair donated instruments.
Each donated instrument needs necessary repairs before it can find new life with a young musician. Repair costs are estimated at $180 per instrument. By making a gift to the WCM Instrument Repair Fund, you have the power to shape a musical journey.
