We had the privilege of supporting a remarkable high school student whose resilience has been shaped by a challenging childhood and his mother’s struggle with mental health. In the midst of these hardships, he discovered a deep passion for music and the trumpet, pouring his heart into every note he played. His dedication led him to audition for, and earn acceptance into, a prestigious out-of-state summer marching band program. Determined to pursue his dream of securing a college marching band scholarship, he worked tirelessly toward this opportunity.

We were honored to stand beside him, helping to raise the funds that made his attendance possible and opening the door for his next step toward a brighter future. It made my heart happy to see the smile on his face and know we helped him pursue his dreams.
