Happy Thanksgiving
I was challenged today to say "THANK
YOU" to someone I could never repay and immediately you came to mind.
Your support of our mission to transform the lives of inner city youth
through a world-class orchestra has created a musical home for these
incredible young people after school. The connections in our orchestra
family are stronger than they've ever been and the commitment to their
instruments matches their love for each other.
We are so incredibly thankful for being gifted the opportunity to have our FIRST office space in the new Workbar in Union Square.
In the next few weeks we have some excited events. On December 1st we will be the 1st charity featured in Boston's new "24 Days of Charity." People all over the country will bid on an exclusive trips and the proceeds benefit our program. Also, on December 9th we will host our 2nd annual Aspire: Young Professionals Holiday Party. This is a fun evening of food and drinks featuring the Roxbury Youth Orchestra with proceeds benefiting our program. Thanks for being a part of our family!
Here are a few highlights from this fall and a some memorable quotes from our students
