Background

Founded in 2017 to keep his drum beat going, we started this organization in memory of Jared Lizakowski, a drummer who passed away in October of 2016. We honor him and his passion for music with each scholarship awarded.

Now in our 9th year, we have awarded 100+ scholarships and have raised $140,000.

Because of support from caring people like you, we’re thankful to be growing our scholarship program year after year.

Programs

Our goal is to meet the needs of the communities we serve and put an instrument in the hands of all those who desire to learn. Demand is high and our waitlist is long.

You have the power to move students off the waitlist this year!
