NAfME Chapter Members Raise Funds for Music Education
On October 1, 2016, Give a Note Foundation launched the Music Ed Matters initiative to provide fundraising opportunities for any and all who believe and share in our mission to nurture, grow, and strengthen music education opportunities for all.
Give a Note Foundation enlisted the help of National Association for Music Education’s (NAfME) Tri-M® and Collegiate chapters. Chapters from across the nation competed against one another to increase awareness and donations for the Foundation during the giving season as part of the Give a Note “Music Ed Matters” Chapter Challenge. Each chapter created their own fundraising page and hosted multiple fundraising events!
The four chapters – two Tri-M and two Collegiate – that raised the MOST donations between October 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016, have earned their schools a stop on the 2017 Music In Our Schools Tour, including a celebration concert in their community featuring a popular band or artist!
We applaud the 18 Tri-M chapters and 4 Collegiate chapters that committed their time and energy to this challenge. Together they raised over $9,000 to go directly towards school music programs in underfunded communities.
