This year, the National Day of Giving is on Tuesday, December 3rd, and we invite you to "give big" as the West Hills Symphonic Band participates in Pittsburgh Magazine's annual Give Big Pittsburgh event.
Presented by GBU Life, the event will raise money for local nonprofits through a single online donation platform, providing a simple way to connect donors to the charitable causes they care about most. This 24-hour online fundraising effort offers nonprofits the chance to raise funds to support their critical missions.
Give Big to the West Hills Symphonic Band on December 3rd:
Our goal for Give Big Pittsburgh is to raise at least $10,000 in support of five key goals:
Music & Instrument Acquisition: Expanding our music library and purchasing much needed percussion instruments for in-season and summer performances.
Guest Artists: Enhancing musical experiences for our members and audiences alike by involving guest soloists, conductors, and composers to contribute their insights and talents to both rehearsals and performances.
Composer Commissions: Championing creativity by commissioning works from emerging and established composers, including those in our region, to bring fresh new music to our audiences and contribute to the lasting legacy of wind band literature.
Student Scholarships: Empowering young musicians by providing scholarships to help them pursue their passions and further their education in the field of music.
School Band Grants: Supporting band programs by offering grants to help fund essential resources such as music, equipment, and instrument repairs.
By investing in these initiatives, we will also strengthen connections among musicians, schools, and local arts organizations, creating a more vibrant and united music community. With your generous support, we can continue our mission of inspiring, educating, and sharing the joy of music with an even broader audience. Help us build a stronger foundation for the arts and make a lasting impact on the future of music in our Pittsburgh area communities!
