🎶 A major milestone for The Summit FM’s Marilyn Stroud Music Alive program!
On October 6, Music Alive celebrated the donation of its 500th instrument — presented to Akron Public Schools during the school board meeting by Tommy Bruno, Laura Smiley, and Derek Jung.
This incredible achievement wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our community and the continued partnership of Taylor Band & Orchestra, which refurbishes these instruments, allowing us to put them in the hands of students across Northeast Ohio.
Want to help us reach the next 500? 🎸🎺🎻 Donate an instrument to the Music Alive Program today and give the gift of music to a local student.
