Music through Music: Fundraising for Glenwood Elementary

For our Leadership Impact project, we decided to improve the music program at an underfunded elementary school in Waukegan, IL: Glenwood Elementary. But how? We decided on collecting money through donations and performances to purchase up to 30 acoustic guitars for this school. The prestigious national music honor society, TRI-M, generously donated $700 to our cause. In addition, three of our team members, Andrew, Daniel, and Mitch, gave a performance at Via Gelato Cafe, in Glenview. They raised about $170. Cameron and Paul were unavailable to perform due to the school musical. For footage from Via Gelato, more information about our project, and the overall success, please watch the video below!
