Fund For Band: Madeira Beach Fundamental K-8

GOAL ACHIEVED: $746/500

We and Madeira Beach Fundamental K-8's band program are so thankful for everyone who helped us achieve this goal, on top of the multiple musical instrument donations. If you'd like to follow up, visit our website for more information. However, there is still much more that can be done, and every dollar counts! If you are able, please continue to donate to Madeira Beach Fundamental's band program to support their hurricane recovery.

Hi, we're Fund For Band, a St. Petersburg High School International Baccalaureate CAS Project by Zachary Ratkiewicz and Andrew Todica, raising funds for Madeira Beach Fundamental K-8's band program.

After the devastating effects of Hurricanes Helene and Milton on Madeira Beach's campus, the Madeira Beach K-8 band program needs more help than ever. Because of the hurricanes, important band collaborations between St. Petersburg High School and Madeira Beach Fundamental, especially for High School Band Discovery Night, were unable to take place. Fund For Band is providing money to Madeira Beach's band program's emergency/relief fund to be able to help pay for band needs including: reeds, mouthpieces, music books, printer ink, drumsticks, paper, small instruments, polish, instrument tools/essentials, and more.

Help us on our journey: we're trying to raise at least $500 to help Madeira Beach K-8 students gain back a sense of normalcy after the devastating hurricanes through the power of music.
