Suzuki Violin Donation Program

For the past 7 years Gorrie Elementary has offered the violin instruction program to students.  The John B. Gorrie Foundation has provided violins and other musical supplies for this program.  Last year the Hillsborough County School System decided not to fund an instructor for our program.  The John B. Gorrie Foundation, in conjunction with Mitchell Elementary, committed to privately funding the instructor’s salary so that our students could continue participating in this valuable program.  We are asking for your help this year and are requesting a tax-deductible donation of $200 from every student participating in the Suzuki Violin Program.  This donation is NOT mandatory and ALL students will participate regardless of individual donation.  Of course, any donation amount, whether more or less, is greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your support of this wonderful program!  Remember all contributions to this program are tax-deductible.

Thank you and please follow the link below to contribute:
