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.
