SUPPORT MUSIC EDUCATION IN SCHOOL

ENJOY A GREAT EVENING OF ENTERTAINMENT

M.U.S.I.C. Foundation Gala Benefit

Sunday September 25th

WHAT: With all the bad news of education budget cuts here is a non-profit doing something about it. But with no government help they need support from the community!

A group of International and Broadway musical performers have come together to share their talents, in order to raise money for music education in public schools with an entertainment filled gala.

The M.U.S.I.C. Foundation (Music Unlocks Success In Children) is a non-profit organization partnering with public elementary schools in the LA area to provide students with the opportunity to advance academically through the study of music. Despite the research that students who study music achieve higher academically, funding for music education has been cut, and often in schools with a student population that cannot afford any kind of private music instruction. Those are the schools they work with. This program meets the needs of the children of this community, giving them weekly music instruction, integrated with their core curriculum, to enable them to achieve their academic potential.

WHO: Join our celebrity host, JUDY NORTON along with Broadway stars and Swing Dames at this Gala event. Enjoy drinks, hors d’oeurves, take part in the silent auction and watch a fabulous show. For tickets go towww.supportTMF.org/donations/
