The Bull Run Rotary Club decided to invest in music education in the community by donating $5,000 to the Osbourn High School Music Department.
“Music contributes so much to the education of the whole student. Our club had an opportunity to apply for a Rotary District 7610 grant for $2,500 to set a plan in motion to buy new instruments,” stated Bull Run Rotary Club President Theresa Coates Ellis in a release.
After working together to submit the grant application, the $2,500 grant was awarded to the school for the purchase of a piccolo, clarinet, euphonium, baritones and other instruments, according to a release.
The Bull Run Rotary Club then decided to match that, and donate another $2,500 to the music department.
“We heard about a need in the community and the Rotary did something about it. The District grant was approved because the musical instruments met our criteria for an area of focus with sustainability,” stated Coates Ellis in a release.
