Lakewood Music Boosters

The Lakewood Music Boosters Joins the Global #GivingTuesday Movement Pledges to support Lakewood Music programs grades K-12

The Lakewood Music Boosters has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Our goal is to raise funds to support our music programs throughout the Lakewood City Schools grades K-12.

This year for Giving Tuesday please consider a monetary donation to Lakewood Music boosters. Last year with your support we were able to donate $300 to each of our seven elementary school teachers, we purchased ukuleles for the 5th grade general music classrooms, we purchased a baritone saxophone for Garfield middle school, sent 18 children to summer music camps and paid for over 30 summer music lessons.  Large purchases last year included $7.600 for a music library for the new performing arts wing at the high school as well as $23, 000 for a garment rack to store uniforms for the marching band, performance dresses, and drama club costumes. We still need $10,000 to complete the financing on these purchases. Every dollar counts for helping our students.

Lakewood has a very diverse population of students ranking 53rd of 608 public school districts in Ohio. We have many students who need school owned instruments and supplies to participate in our programs.

$5 can buy a reed for a beginner clarinet, Rosin for a starting Violin, Lyre for a marching band student, valve oil for a trumpet, flip folder for marching band
