CHARITY
Music is a critical component of a first-rate education. Presently, tens of millions of school-age kids in theUnited Statesreceive no music education whatsoever as a result of budget cuts that have stripped public schools of their music programs. These cuts have had a disproportionately large impact on children from low-income families and communities. Little Kids Rock (LKR) restores music in the academic lives of kids in our public schools by providing a rich music education program including instrument instruction, free instruments and trained mentors. Founded in 1996 by David Wish, an elementary school teacher, musician and advocate for music education, Little Kids Rock now serves thousands of students in CA, NY, NJ and TN.

Little Kids Rock is thrilled to be a part of the 13th Annual Mutual Fund Industry Awards. At the awards dinner, guests will have an opportunity to support LKR by bidding on music-related silent auction items or by making a donation. Kids who have benefited from LKR will also perform during the awards ceremony.
