TLR Gives Back Foundation
What is TLR GIVES BACK Foundation?
Our mission and purpose is to help keep “Music” alive in our schools and to help with the research of how important music is to people who suffers from Alzheimer and Dementia.
One of my most treasured memories of my Grandma Cleo besides attending in my wedding….. Mother’s Day 2012Our family went on a trip to Omaha, Ne to celebrate Mother’s Day with our grandma/Mother. One afternoon we all were sitting in my Aunts family room chatting about old times and my grandma started getting uncomfortable. My uncle had noticed it. He explained that sometimes she has a hard time remembering people and events.
To ease the tension, my uncle asked my grandma if she would like to play the organ. She smiled so big, then sat n front of the organ and played whatever we asked beautifully without missing a note. That’s when I knew I had to help do my part in keeping music alive in schools.
Our goal is to help the under privilege kids to get that instrument that they can’t afford and would love want to play, we offer scholarship to students who want to further their education in music, we support local schools music departments and we want to help contribute to the studies of Alzheimer and Dementia and how it relates to music.
To gear up for upcoming Fundraisers, we are searching for sponsorships from community businesses.
There are many ways you can help support our mission: donate funds, goods/services and/or volunteering the day of the events.
All donations are tax deductible.
