Catherine's Orchestra for All

By donating an instrument, you are giving opportunity to a student. COFA takes all donated instruments, cleans and repairs them, and then gives them to a student who wants to participate in band but wouldn't be able to do so otherwise. 

By donating a monetary sum, you are giving an opportunity for success. Band programs are often underfunded and lack sufficient supplies and instruments. COFA takes monetary donations and purchases much needed instruments and supplies for band programs.

Numerous studies show that students who learn to plan an instrument or participate in a band program are more likely to have high test scores, better memorization skills, a less likely chance of dropping out of school, and multiple opportunities for college.

Let's be real, we think band kids are pretty awesome. They are more likely to follow the rules, have an amazing sense of humor, work hard for something individually and as a team, are known to be kind to their classmates, respect their competitors, and don't stop until they finish the job.
