The Summit FM: Music Alive in Athens

All of us at The Summit FM are deeply committed to strengthening community engagement through the power of music. That's why we are thrilled to proudly announce our most recent contribution; a variety of string instruments to The Federal Valley Resource Center. 

The donation is part of The Summit FM's ongoing efforts to support organizations that promote music and art accessibility, food security, health, resource accessibility, regional history preservation, and opportunities for seniors.

The Federal Valley Resource Center, a distinguished 501(c)(3) non-profit serving Stewart, Ohio, and surrounding areas, has long been a cornerstone in addressing vital community needs. This generous gift from The Summit FM is set to enhance the center's initiatives and broaden its impact.

The string instruments were generously donated by The Summit FM's loyal listeners through the Marilyn Stroud Music Alive Instrument donation program. Over the past decade, this program has seen the generous contribution of musical instruments from devoted supporters, with a remarkable 600 instruments donated to public school students and communities across Ohio. 

"We are thrilled to partner with The Federal Valley Resource Center to enrich the lives of individuals in Athens, and Stewart and its neighboring areas further," said Dave Watkins, The Marilyn Stroud Music Alive Volunteer for The Summit FM. "Through the Marilyn Stroud Music Alive Instrument donation program, our listeners have played a pivotal role in spreading the joy of music and supporting local initiatives."

The Federal Valley Resource Center expressed gratitude for The Summit FM's contribution, emphasizing the positive impact it will have on the community. "This donation aligns seamlessly with our mission to create a more vibrant and interconnected community. We appreciate The Summit FM's dedication to making a difference in the lives of those we serve," said Therese Lackey, FVRC Program Director & Board President at The Federal Valley Resource Center.

Summit FM remains committed to supporting organizations that share its vision of embracing community development and enhancing the quality of life through music and the arts. This collaboration with The Federal Valley Resource Center is a testament to the station's ongoing commitment to positively impacting the communities it serves.
