🎶And we would walk 500 miles, and we would walk 500 more, just to be the ones who donated £500 and helped Music 4 U open new doors! 🎶
500 4 500: Collective Small Steps With A Significant Impact
At Music 4 U, we understand that larger donations aren't always possible for every business. That's why we've created the 500 4 500 initiative: We're asking 500 Aberdeen businesses to each donate just £500, allowing us to collectively raise £250,000 to support our work with young people across Aberdeen City and Shire.
If 500 businesses donate £500 each, together we can make a monumental impact on the lives of local young people with a passion for music and the performing arts. Every contribution will help fund classes, events and projects and will truly support young musicians of all abilities and backgrounds.
Your £500 donation, combined with contributions from other local businesses, will help us secure a significant amount of much-needed funding . 500 4 500 ensures that every business, regardless of size, can play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of Aberdonian performers.
Will you join us in this collaborative effort?
Together, we can transform the lives of hundreds of young people through music 🎶
