GEORGE S. MAY FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS

Music inspires so many of our children to reach their highest potential.  However, budget cuts in inner-city schools often prevent this.  Are you read to help a child discover and develop his or her talent?   Do you have an old musical instrument stored in the back of your closet just collecting dust?  Help the George S. May Foundation for the Arts give children access to music as an inspiration towards positive action by supporting its music education program called P.A.U.S.E.  Instruments and other donations are being collected at George S. May International, 303 S. Northwest Highway in Park Ridge, IL.  To arrange for a donation pick-up, visit www.pause.gsmfoundation.org or call (800) 999-3020.
