The Gift of Music campaign is a music instrument drive initiated by the Columbus Music Commission to collect unused, new, or gently used music instruments and equipment for Columbus City Schools students. The campaign also ensures students’ access to music education and development. New or gently used music instruments, amplifiers, strings, electric keyboards, and accessories will all be gladly accepted.
“Music always adds an extra spark to our events at the GCCC. We are excited to partner with the Columbus Music Commission and again be selected this year as a collection point to help ensure local students have the instruments that they need to begin their own musical journeys,” said GCCC General Manager John R. Page.
Monetary contributions can also be made to the Columbus Music Commission to assist with educational program development and continuation. All donations are tax deductible.
