Mason Giving Day, Thursday April 6th

This spring is a great time to show some Patriot pride by starting a new tradition of giving. Mason’s first “Giving Day” will offer the opportunity to support your favorite Mason programs – including the Academy’s own Instruments in the Attic program.

Visit givingday.gmu.edu for full details on next Thursday, April 6th’s official “Mason Giving Day”. In the “Projects You Can Support” section, you will notice “The Arts” category. If you click there, you will see Potomac Arts Academy’s listing for Instruments in the Attic.

 

 

Support the Instruments in the Attic program as we collaborate with the Mason School of Music to repair and ship donated musical instruments to Costa Rica for the inaugural International Teaching Scholars Program. Fifty instruments will be distributed to underserved communities in the San José area. Six Mason School of Music student Teaching Scholars will accompany the instruments on their journey. Working side by side with local music instructors, Mason students will experience the power of music and its ability to impact and transform communities. Help us raise $1,800 to help cover travel expenses for the students!

Here’s what to do: anytime on Thursday, April 6th, visit givingday.gmu.edu, and when you make your donation, select “Potomac Arts Academy – Instruments in the Attic” as your designated project. As the name suggests, this special “window of giving opportunity” only last 24 hours. The Academy will be pushing out several “Mason Giving Day” posts on our social media channels on that day as helpful reminders, including the unique hashtag #Give2Mason.
