Students in all of the music groups at Reagan have been collecting shoes as a way to raise money.
About
250 students participate in one program or another and together they have collected
thousands of shoes from our community.
The shoes
will be given to Funds2Orgs.
“We found out about the Funds2Orgs
organization while researching fundraisers for the band program at Reagan,”
said Debbie Solis, who oversees Reagan
Bands Fundraising. “All shoes collected are sent to
developing countries through the Funds2Orgs organization to help those in need.
Our program will receive payment based on total weight of shoes collected."
“All monies earned through this humanitarian
fundraiser will be used to support various needs for the bands at Reagan, i.e.
purchasing music, clinicians, instruments, etc.”
On
Nov. 13, the Jazz 1 group at Reagan High School will perform with world-renowned
trombone player Delfeayo Marsalis (Wynton Marsalis’ brother).
They are scheduled to perform at 9 a.m. at the N.C. Music Educators Conference being held in Winston-Salem at Benton Convention Center.
