Do you have a musical instrument gathering dust in the closet? Won't you help by letting someone play it again? We have a number of 'wannabe' musicians in middle school who have no instrument to play. We will have the instruments appraised for tax purposes, repaired if repairable and in the schools for the students.

If you have an instrument to donate please contact the Warren Arts and Education Foundation Office at 317-869-4383 or mmckinle@warren.k12.in.us to arrange for drop-off or to have it picked up.
