Community Rallies to Support Local Music Program After Devastating Damage

Mar 13, 2025 at 2:11 AM

A recent incident has left a Saginaw-based music education program in urgent need of assistance. Upon returning from a weekend break, members of Major Chords for Minors discovered extensive damage caused by a roof leak. The water infiltration led to significant harm to the organization's instruments and equipment, totaling nearly $20,000 in damages. Rising humidity levels resulted in warped wooden components, rusted metal parts, and compromised electronic systems. The affected items range from stringed instruments like guitars and cellos to percussion equipment such as drums and cymbals, along with various electronic devices.

The nonprofit organization, dedicated to offering free music lessons to underprivileged children, is now seeking public support to cover their substantial insurance deductible and replace damaged items. In addition, they are requesting donations of musical instruments and financial contributions to compensate for the extra time spent by their music instructor, Brad, in dealing with insurance matters. Through social media platforms, Major Chords for Minors is reaching out to the community for much-needed aid.

In times of adversity, it is heartening to see communities come together to support initiatives that enrich young lives. By rallying around this cause, individuals can make a tangible difference in providing these children with the tools and resources they need to pursue their passion for music. This collective effort underscores the importance of nurturing talent and fostering creativity in our youth, ensuring that no child is left without access to the transformative power of music.
