Help a teacher make a difference
I am a high school teacher who feels it's important for kids to have positive role models. I created inthekeyofchange.com to merge music with the social causes and charities bands support. The site's store is full of autographed band merchandise, whose proceeds are donated to a music charity each year. This year we were able to donate $500 to Music Drives Us--a Boston-based charity that provides instruments and music therapies to underprivileged kids.
I cover national events such as Vans Warped Tour, South By Southwest, Rock on the Range, and more--but on a teacher's budget, it's quite difficult. It's important for me to be a positive role model to my students as well as showing them that it's cool to help others--so I need a little help, too.
Whatever money isn't spent on travel and tech for the website will be donated.
