Help repair Tom Yang's violin.

Thank you all for your incredible kindness to Tom in his time of need. In a little more than 24 hours we reached our goal! As a result, I have turned off the ability to donate to be responsible to Tom's friends. Please pass your generosity on to others in need and thank you again.

Friends-

As you may or may not know, this past December, Tom Yang was dutifully performing a job as concertmaster when his chair slipped causing him to fall off the stage. While the injuries he sustained were mercifully minor, his cherished instrument did not fare so well.

Due to highly unfortunate circumstances, neither Tom’s nor the venue’s insurance will cover the cost of returning this valued instrument to its former glory. The repairs needed on the violin will take months to complete properly, resulting in what will be a very high bill.

Surely over the years, Tom has impacted your life for the better at least once if not many times. Please consider donating to help one of Chicago’s finest players and people.
