More Music for Kids - Jeffco Community Instrument Drive

Our kids need your help!

Every year more students want to play in band or orchestra; however, there are not enough instruments available at our local public schools. More than 10,000 Jeffco students participate in the instrumental music program; unfortunately, at least 2,000 students don’t enroll because they can’t afford to buy or rent an instrument. Therefore, Jeffco community organizations are sponsoring an instrument drive to provide students more opportunities to participate.

You may also drop off your donation anytime between April 21st and May 2nd at the following alternative locations: Flesher-Hinton Music, Golden Music, Kolacny Music, Music and Arts Centers or Rockley Music.

How can you help?

You can “clean out your closet” of used musical instruments and put them to good use by donating them for use in our Jeffco schools. In addition, sometimes school-owned instruments are inadvertently misplaced or forgotten. Here is a chance to return them with no questions asked!

What instruments are appropriate?

Any instrument normally used in a school band or orchestra is welcome, including guitars.

Don’t have an instrument?

We also welcome tax deductible cash donations which can help with the purchase of new instruments or repairs to older instruments. Checks should be made payable to More Music for Kids and mailed to: Jefferson Foundation, 809 Quail St., Building #1, Lakewood, CO 80215.

Are donations tax deductible?

Yes. If you donate an instrument a receipt will be provided at the time of donation.
