Overview
GET INSTRUMENTAL! targets 10 cities with a lively music scene, an underserved population, and an existing network of Hungry For Music contacts. In each city we will establish a Collection Center for musical instruments. Radio sponsors, press contacts, and social media will help publicize the campaign.In the fall, we will host a sizeable benefit concert in each GET INSTRUMENTAL! city. Attendees can donate musical instruments for free tickets. Concert video and music downloads will continue to draw people to the campaign for the end-of-year push.
Evaluated by knowledgeable volunteers, usable instruments will be distributed locally first. Others come to our DC headquarters for low-cost repair by volunteer technicians.
HFM's nationwide database of donors, recipients, music organizations and school systems will help us identify programs and students in need. By March 2011, 10,000 instruments will reach new homes.
