Help Matthew get to New York City!!

Hi! I’m Jessi, Matthew’s Mom. Matthew recently auditioned with the Honors Performance Series for an opportunity to perform trumpet at Carnegie Hall in New York City and we found out that he got in!! There were thousands of applicants, so this is a huge honor and an amazing opportunity for him. He will perform with the middle school honors junior band. He will also have the opportunity to see the city and experience the culture. He is very excited!!! Matthew has been studying trumpet for four years and works hard to achieve what he has achieved so far.

The cost of the trip is $2600 not including airfare or food. We, as his parents, would love to attend with him to see this amazing opportunity that he had been given. Unfortunately, during the summer of 2022 I had a stroke and have been unable to work since then. This means our finances are limited. Your help would make this dream of our sons even closer to happening.  All funds raised will go towards the cost of the trip, food while there, and travel to/from NYC. Thank you for considering and taking action on helping an 11 year old achieve a once in a lifetime opportunity.
