Donate to young boys in need

Friends, I need your help. Last week, I had the opportunity to present a jazz education program sponsored by Education for the Arts to a school in Kalamazoo. The school serves boys age 8-18 with emotional disorders. It was an amazing experience for all of us. They were really into the music, air drumming, moving in their seats, and singing along. During our performance, our good friend Julie Parker noticed that these 35 boys did not appear to have much in the way of clean or appropriately fitting clothes. The office confirmed that the boys are definitely in need. SO…..we are taking action! We are asking for donations of boys clothing, or money that will be used to purchase things they need. You can email me for clothing donations or go to my website to donate money. We will shop this week so they will have things by Friday for Christmas. We want to continue to serve these boys and make an impact in their lives. Won’t you help us? Keith@KeithHallMusic.com

Help us bless boys ages 8-18 in Kalamazoo.
