Giving Tuesday


Nothing brings greater joy to the holiday season like our favorite holiday music. This is the time of year when we tune our radios to the stations that we love and sing along, taken in by the nostalgia of our most joyful childhood memories. What a powerful tool music is– influencing every era of our lives, supporting us through life’s greatest celebrations, and carrying us through our deepest pain.

We recognize that music is a powerful medium for feeling connected to family and friends. It is that recognition that drives us to work harder and make music a priority.

This #GivingTuesday, support the Jay County Band Boosters. Your gift allows our hard-working musicians whose creativity, innovation, talent, and passion for what they do bring joy to so many.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left us unable to raise funds through our conventional means. Your gift to the Jay County Band Boosters will help ensure that our students can continue to learn and grow and influence the world with their music.

#GivingTuesday is the perfect opportunity to show your appreciation for music, to provide a highly impacting music education for these bright students, and to selflessly give back to something powerful that has supported you your whole life long. Give now and join us in making music the priority that it deserves to be in all of our lives. Thank you for your support!
