Fund Kira Tennant's Musical Journey Abroad
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Kira Tennant, I am 15 years old. In these fifteen years I've spent a lot of my time learning music, so much so, that i desire to become a music teacher once I graduate (lets go graduating class 2028!). Music has been my passion since i was about four and my dad taught me Heart And Soul on the piano. Since then, I've been learning every possible way to make music, but i especially enjoy singing. I've been invited to join several honor choirs such as EVHC (emerald valley honor choir), Oregon All-State Choir (OMEA), and I've been featured with the Eugene concert choir, Hiroshima/Nagasaki youth Peace Choir. And my most recent conquest- the reason I'm here- Oregon Ambassadors of Music 2026 Europe tour. I've been chosen to join this high honor choir -no audition needed. In this program I would learn new musical techniques to enhance my singing skills and skills to teach others, and gain many life experiences i thought id never get to do/see. Unfortunately, my family isn't in the financial position to fund this trip outright. We always manage to come together to get money for my learning opportunities, even if that means writing in for scholarships. Sadly, there are none for this particular program. I've never gotten to leave my home state (Oregon). On this trip, Id get to do a month long camp on OSU (Oregon state university) Campus, then fly to Normandy France, Paris France, Crans Montana Switzerland, Zermatt Switzerland, Innsbruck Austria, Dachau Germany, Rothenburg Germany, (And if we can raise enough) London England. But the fun part is we need to Pay certain amounts of money in certain amounts of time. here's the list :
$850/895 Deposit Paid to OAM Due: June 20, 2025
$500 per person Paid to MCI Due: July 20, 2025
$1,000 per person Paid to MCI Due: September 20, 2025
$2,000 per person Paid to MCI Due: December 20, 2025
$2,000 per person Paid to MCI Due: February 20, 2026
Final Remaining Balance Paid to MCI Due: April 20, 2026
London Extension (opt.) Paid to OAM Due: TBD
I'll spare you the math- ITS A LOT OF MONEY!!! Approximately ~9000 dollars to cover all expenses. So please, help me further my music education, so I can educate music, and live a life i never could without your support :)
