Donations (Thank You!)

Here’s just a few pictures of some of the donated instruments we’ve recieved.

Here's a beautiful guitar another generous soul donated at our Car-Fi (Springfield) drop-off location. This instrument will help an underprivileged child pursue a musical journey that was unobtainable without assistance.

Donavon Bankhead of Springfield Music presents a check for $1800 to Play It Forward SWMO. This account will be used to purchase and repair instruments for children that cannot afford to take part in the music experience.

Here's Jennifer Trainer Reisch bringing two guitars in to Springfield Music to drop off and donate them them to Play It forward SWMO. Ruell's brother Alan Chappell is helping her with the guitars. Jennifer is a personal trainer and a local musician that plays with The Swivel Sisiters. Thanks Jennifer!

Stopped by Springfield Music to pick any donated instruments and this is what was waiting for us! A big holiday THANK YOU to all the thoughtful folks who brought these in to help needy children with musical aspirations.  We also would like to thank Donovan Bankhead and the staff at Springfield Music for helping our cause. They are a local company that has supported early music education in Springfield since the early 60s.
