May The 4th Be With You! East Bay Gives

Today is East Bay Gives - 24 hour online giving day. Help keep music alive in our schools and children's lives.

May the 4th be with you everyone! Today is East Bay Gives, a 24 hour online giving frenzy. Please remember to reach into your hearts and your pockets today to give to an organization who you feel deserves the support!

I work and volunteer with an amazing non-profit, Music For Minors II ((MFMII) and see the musical impact and difference the volunteer music docents make in children's classrooms and lives. Due to cutbacks in the local schools, many children will never experience music education in school.

Please consider making a donation today to help keep music education alive in our local schools. Just $10 can bring weekly music classes to one child for an entire year! $250 can fund an entire classroom.

Music has had a enormous effect on my life and I am thankful that music was part of the curriculum when I was at school and that we sang daily. I wish every child could experience the joy of music and know how important music education can be in helping children and their young minds.

If you believe that MFMII deserves support, feel free to donate at www.eastbaygives.org/MFMII. Whether it is MFMII you decide to support today or not, support SOME worthy cause. When one of us wins we all win!
