Instruments Donation
Donate an Instrument
Fifteen years ago, Waukegan District 60 had only 300 instruments to serve thousands of aspiring musicians. For many families, renting privately simply wasn’t possible—and too many children missed out on the chance to play.
That’s why Bravo began collecting donated instruments. Since then, thousands of generous people across Lake and Cook Counties have given their instruments new life in the hands of young musicians. Each donation helps make sure every student who wants to learn has the opportunity to do so—regardless of family income.
When you donate your instrument, you’re doing more than giving an object—you’re passing on a love of music, a sense of pride, and a world of possibility.
Bravo will provide a tax receipt to acknowledge your donation.
