Donation of the Week

Every week, Keeping The Blues Alive chooses a different school to donate resources, including instruments, sheet music, and recording equipment, that further the growth and impact of music education. Since our founding in 2011, we have donated over $600,000 in instruments, sheet music, supplies and more, enriching the lives of over 100,000 students and teachers across the country.
