Al and Gabrielle Rinaldi of Jacobs Music Company Present the Gift of Music Making to the Boys and Girls Club of Camden County

Members of the Boys and Girls Club of Camden County received a great surprise at their Parkside Clubhouse in Camden on Thursday afternoon, October 25, when they unveiled a brand new Yamaha Clavinova digital piano. This gift of music making was presented by Al and Gabrielle Rinaldi, owners of Jacobs Music Company, in honor of the grand opening of their new location in nearby Cherry Hill, NJ, also in Camden County.

After the unveiling, 16 year old Club member and youth worker Trevon Ellis of Camden had the honor of being the first person to officially play the Clavinova. 

The Rinaldi family, owners of the Jacobs Music Company piano stores, is very glad to have this opportunity to present this gift to the children.  The reason is highly personal to the Chairman and CEO of Jacobs Music Company, Al Rinaldi: “I was an abandoned child and grew up fending for myself on the streets of Scranton, Pennsylvania. If it were not for music and for my own membership in our local Boys and Girls Club, my life would have had little meaning.  I hope this Clavinova piano will do for some of these kids what music has always done for me.”
