I’ve been developing a pilot program for at risk children in Washington DC. The purpose is to provide music lessons to the children for free by some of the best musicians in the city. Is this a pipe dream? No. I’m actually going to enroll some of the best musicians into this program.

I’ve caught the “Oprah’s Big Give” bug and now I’m hooked. It helps that I’m also in a course in which I am required to do a community project and so with my love of music and my wanting to give back, I decided to create the “Music Makes Futures Bright” program. I will be offering this program to area organizations that deal with at risk youth.

I will be blogging on here from time to time about my progress. So far I’ve been able to recruit two amazing women to the advisory board. I still have a core team to develop and I need to recruit the music mentors.

If you are in the DC area and are interested in being involved with the project, please give me a call at 202-635-3567 or make a comment on this blog. You are also welcome to donate. If you are out of the area and still want to contribute, you can also donate money to my donation site that is on the right side of my blog. My first fundraising goal is to make $5000 in online donations by June 15th. I appreciate any help you can give.

Until next time…
