The Fountain Hills High School band is in desperate need of new drums and tubas to replace the 12-year-old, worn out ones that are currently being used, and funding is not available to cover the costs.
Dwight and Laura Johnson, who manage the Verne C. Johnson Family Foundation, pledged $25,000 as a matching grant with the hopes that community members will contribute the remaining funds.
Individuals or organizations that would like to help with this cause are asked make a check out to FHCCA/Band Instrument Fund and send it to P.O. Box 18254, Fountain Hills, AZ 85269. The FHCCA is a 501(c) 3. All contributions are tax deductible and a public recognition of your generosity will be made.
For additional information, contact Allen Fossenkemper at fossenkemper@gmai.com or 480-707-2476. Band Director Lynn Truby may be reached at ltruby@fhusd.org.
