Imagine being a child, turned away from a music program at school because there was a lack of instruments available. In a recent survey of 225 schools, 68% of schools reported that this happened at their school. *
What if people interested in helping could get matched to schools that need help keeping The Arts flourishing at their school? Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation is on a mission to do just that. Through the Adopt A School campaign, donors can select a specific school in need to help them.
