Giving Tuesday 2024
From Tuesday, November 26th through Giving Tuesday, December 3rd, our goal for 2025 is to raise $2,000 in donations to provide life-changing opportunities for young musicians, including more field trips to see live performances and purchasing essential instrument supplies.
​
Here’s how you can help:
​
-
Donate through our website: Any amount contributed means we are closer to reaching our goal which will positively impact the communities we serve!
-
Become a sponsor for our benefit concerts: We are looking for donations to sponsor our upcoming benefit concert in January 2025! Our benefit concerts will continue to support our fundraising efforts and raise community involvement!
-
Buy a Hoodie: Your purchase covers the cost of a student’s ticket to see a live performance by the world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra. Imagine the inspiration these students will gain from witnessing a professional orchestra in action!
-
Buy a Sweatshirt: You’re providing essential classroom materials, from kazoos and drumsticks to reeds and recorders. These tools help students develop their skills and creativity, setting them up for success.
-
Buy a Long-Sleeve T-Shirt: Your contribution helps fund the sheet music for our monthly benefit concerts, allowing us to continue creating memorable experiences that showcase our students’ progress and talents.
Donate Today!
As we continue to expand our reach, your donation will help broaden our budget towards instrument purchases, teaching artist pay, student field trips, and classroom supplies.
A Community Message from Cofounders, Chloe Cooper and Claire Casanova
It saddens us that we are currently facing a time in our lives were we still have to fight for basic human rights. It saddens us knowing that ourselves and the students we have taught face systematic injustices. Our day to day interactions with Black youth and students of color is who we are, and we want them to be able to live in a world where they can exist without being judged purely off of their skin color.
We stand with the Black community. We oppose injustice, cruelty, and systemic racism in all its forms. Generation Music has and always will undoubtedly support our Black students, volunteers, team members, partners, and musicians. It’s hard to watch our city be torn against itself in the same neighborhoods that we try to make a difference in, but please know that your voice is heard. You matter. You are heard. We ask that everyone during this time to please stay safe whether you are at home or protesting.
We know that music unites and brings people together, but we feel that in this instance it is not enough. Instead, we encourage you to join us in sharing and supporting any resources that can help make a change in our society and give us a new reality. Together, our voices can be heard. We will get through this together.
