FUNDRAISING GOAL MET! THANKS to all of you who donated to support South High Music! We surpassed our fundraising goal thanks to your generosity during Give to the Max in November, the Play It Forward benefit in January, and continued support throughout the year.
We are fortunate to have a former South High School teacher come forward with a matching donation of $12,000 to the Boosters. This means we have raised over $24,000 to support South High Music! THANK YOU!!
The money raised is being used to fund a visiting Jazz band teacher, music tours (returning after more than two absent years due to the pandemic), guest instructors, the purchase of new instruments and the repair of used instruments. Our goal is to support the teachers and students and help maintain a vibrant music program at South.
A special shout out to the Hook & Ladder for providing the venue for our recent event and to Mike Marcotte who emceed. We also thank the local businesses and organizations that donated items for our silent auction: Butter Bakery, Corazon, Dock 6 Pottery, Electric Fetus, Equal Exchange, Hi-Lo Diner, History Theatre, MetroNOME, MN Orchestra, Mixed Blood Theater, Moon Palace Books, Pizza Luce, Riverview Theater, Roadrunner Records, the St. Paul Saints, Surly Brewing Co., and Theater Latte Da, THANK YOU!!
