Dear BOA Alumni, Parents, Teachers, Family & Friends:
Greetings & Congratulations!
I am pleased to inform you that in 81 days Music for All's BOA family successfully raised $250,686.
Gifts received prior to the close of the fiscal year (February 28, 2009) totaled $249,166.
All of the donations received before the end of the fiscal year have been allocated to reducing the organization's projected year-end deficit.
All donations received after February 28, 2009 are being allocated to the current year's annual fund.
As we bring this campaign to a close, there are numerous people that I want to thank.
I must start with thanking my tireless staff for staying committed during this time of unrest.
To all the BOA alumni that held fundraising drives, reached out on our behalf and/or shared heartfelt testimonials of the joy that BOA has provided to them, thank you for your generosity and for making me smile (and often cry).
To the parents of the 1.25 million BOA Alumni, thank you for your financial support and for teaching me that the impact of BOA resonates for generations.
To Marty Albertson and Guitar Center, thank you for your final week challenge.
To the Feldstein family, thank you for providing the last $30,000 gift.
I am fortunate to have a board of directors that is committed, patient and generous; thank you
Music for All Board of Directors.
Finally, to the educators that are at the heart of all that we represent.
If not for your leadership and commitment, there would not be a reason for us to exist.
Please continue to visit the campaign website for updates on Music for All's progression to organizational solvency.
In the mean time, perhaps we will see you at the upcoming Music for All National Festival or Summer Symposium 2009.
Either way, let's celebrate this victory!
Gratefully,
L. Scott McCormick
President and CEO
