Top Music Program: Biggest Fundraiser Cancelled due to Fires, School Closures…
Hello friends,
I am writing everyone to make an appeal on behalf of a music program my son participates in. Mission Viejo High School’s entire music program is fantastic. It’s one of the top programs in the nation, with dedicated coaches and teachers who work hard to bring the best out in these teens. The spirit and dedication by the group, (adults and children alike) is the most unique I’ve experienced in my years as a parent. They spend long hours perfecting their program and traveling to support the football team or compete with other teams to display their talent. The group is one of the largest in the nation and you can imagine what it costs to keep the trucks filled with gas to transport equipment, keep the equipment clean and current, feed the team, beverages, uniform maintenance, an so on.
This year, due to school closures from the dense smoke of the Orange County fires, the groups biggest fundraiser of the year was cancelled. The “home competition” usually brings in the bulk of the monies needed for the year and it is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. As you can guess, this will be a huge burden on the program and with all the funding for such programs cut for schools, it seems we are at a true shortfall.
I know many of you support the arts and even participate on some level in such activities. It is my belief that the program can regain it’s budget by an appeal such as this, for private donations. If enough good folks like you donate even $15.00, we can make it through the year! And, if you’ll circulate this to 5-10 of your friends, and they donate, heck, maybe we can make it on into next year 
.
It’s easy to donate by credit card or paypal by visiting Mission Viejo High School Music Program website at http://www.mvhsmusic.com/ Scroll Down 1/4 of the page to the Visa logo with “donate” on it and click. An easy to fill out form will open for you to complete a donation. Remember, your donation is tax deductible!
I hope you take a minute to view the site, maybe even stop by sometime to enjoy some music at one of the concerts or performances, and that if you’d like, you’ll drop an email noting your support so we can properly thank you too! In the meantime, my heartfelt thanks go out to you for your support of such a valuable program which keeps teens moving on positive “notes”.
Warmly,
Kim Taddeo
