Holiday Instrument Drive

As we bring this year to a close, we have two calls to action: our holiday instrument drive and HillFest 2020. We are collecting instruments to donate to students of Friendship Public Charter School and so far we have received various instruments including: a violin, an alto saxophone, trombone, flute, two guitars, drum sticks, a bunch of percussion instruments and some audio gear. Our goal is to wrap all the instruments for the holiday and deliver them December 15th.

Lastly, in partnership with Eastern Market and the downtown DC Business Improvement District we will present HillFest 2020 at the holiday market’s Jumbotron screen this month. These will be pre-recorded performances by DC based Jazz musicians over the course of a week. I will post the dates in the following e-mail!

How can you help? We are still collecting as many instruments as possible and if you have a used (but in working order) musical instrument that you would like to donate, please do! Contribute wrapping paper, bows or garnish for the instruments!

And finally, your contributions really make a huge difference and if you would, we would appreciate if you took the time to support us as we round this year out!
