Volunteers
Volunteers play a key role in all FAME programs. If you are interested in volunteering with FAME, please complete and submit the below form.
Donate A New or Gently Used Musical Instrument
Due to the lack of funding, many schools have cut their music education programs and are unable to provide students with instruments. Also, current economic conditions have left many parents without financial resources to purchase or rent instruments for their children to practice with at home.
Your generous donation of a new or gently used instrument will provide learning opportunities and joy for many years.
If possible, have your instrument(s) appraised or inspected by a qualified professional, typically a music store. Provide the appraisal with the instrument and accessories and we will provide a letter for tax purposes that specifies the value of your donation.
Want the FAME Jazz Band or Ensemble to Play at Your Event?
Consider jazzing up your next event with music performed by experienced FAME Jazz Band Program musicians. Whether you need a duet, trio, quartet, or a full band, we have recommendations for you.
