Play it Forward is a St. Louis based program which began in 2006. Our mission is to ensure each child in St. Louis is provided with the opportunity to discover his or her musical talents. As a community it’s our responsibility to ensure these kids have every opportunity to explore the musical passions. In keeping with our mission, the “Play it Forward” Program:
- Donates musical instruments to children whose school and parents cannot afford the equipment.
- Contributes instruments to schools whose music department funding does not cover the costs for instruments for students who wish to join the school’s music program.
- Coordinates shows and events locally to promote and enhance the Play It Forward program.
We encourage people to dig into their basements, attic’s, spare rooms and donate their previously played instruments!!
Go to our contact page and donate your Guitars, Drums, Keyboards, Cellos, Trumpets and more! Please no pianos!
Contact us if you would like to create a Play It Forward chapter in your area.
