My name is Paul Fitzgerald. My father, Paul Glenn Fitzgerald, Jr., passed away recently after bravely battling chronic long-term respiratory illnesses. He was a life-long musician that cared deeply about music education. He taught guitar, bass, and ukulele for many years before his death. My family and I thought it would be a fitting tribute to Pop, as we like to call him, to setup a fundraiser for the Save The Music Foundation. You can read more about it below. Please consider donating in lieu of sending flowers or other forms of support. Thank you from our family to yours!

Save The Music Foundation

Save The Music Foundation is a 501(c)(3) music education nonprofit that helps students, schools, and communities reach their full potential through the power of making music. For 25 years, Save The Music (STM) has addressed systemic inequities in music education by investing in culturally rich communities across the US. Since its inception, STM has donated nearly $70M worth of instruments and technology to over 2,500 schools – impacting millions of students' lives. And we’re just getting started!

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.
