Pathways Music Connection

Give your child the opportunity of a lifetime - Enroll them in our free Music Connection program!

The students enrolled in The City Mission's Pathways Music Connection classes receive free music instruction and the use of the following instruments:

Drum line 2011

  • Violin

They receive all the benefits that come from studying music plus for children living in poverty, access to a dream that many thought impossible.

Monetary Gifts

Cash donations can help us purchase instruments and we expect to purchase a number of them in 2012 as the program expands. Two ways you can give a monetary donation are:

  • Mail a check payable to The City Mission and note "Music Connection" on the memo line
  • Online: When you click on the button below, check the Pathways box and enter the amount you would like to donate. On the 2nd address line, type "Music Connection" to designate your gift to that program.

Donations of Instruments:

Royalton Music Center helped launch the Pathways Music Connection program. If you have one of the above instruments and would like to consider donating it, please take it to the store for an evaluation. Repairing instruments can be very expensive and the Mission staff does not have the expertise to evaluate or repair them. Many thanks to RMC for their help with this project!

 

2011 - Giving Tree at Royalton Music Center

Royalton Music Center's Giving Tree

Thanks to the Royalton Music Center who established a Giving Tree to help our students for Christmas 2011. Supporters took the 'ornaments' to the register to make a donation the Mission could use toward the purchase of instruments.

 

With your generous help, we were able to purchase drums for our growing drumline.
