Proceeds benefit the Landfill Harmonic and St. James Music Academy of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
The funds for the Landfill Harmonic will provide scholarships for the older students to enable them to continue with their education and their involvement with orchestra. As the Landfill Harmonic is expanding, the older students become part of the teaching staff and the administration. Without scholarships these students would most likely have to quit their education and get menial jobs to help support their families. Saint James Music Academy will use the funds to purchase instruments and for operation expenses.
Your donated musical instruments, in working condition, can bring hope and change into the lives of aspiring young musicians.
