About Play It Forward Wilmington
What started as a idea in 2015 where I was gifting kids my old drum sets, turned into a bigger thing than I expected as friends and were reaching out to donate their unused instruments and I would clean them up and donate them to kids, or really anyone that wanted to play. This idea really showed its potential during the pandemic.
In 2020, with some help from others, we started promoting this idea and raising funds as well. All money raised was used for purchasing new and used instruments, repairs and hardware for cleaning up the used instruments, and storage for everything.
Later in 2020, we hosted a holiday instrument drive where we worked with 5 families providing brand new instruments for their kids. We helped out about 15-20 individuals/families with new and used instruments over the whole year.
Then going into 2021, we went back to work and kept the focus more on used instruments. Throughout 2021, we helped out over 60 families/individuals, and 46 of that was kids during our holiday instrument drive.
As we’re still in the learning curve with the growth of Play It Forward Wilmington, we’re so happy to be able to provide something for the community out of something we’ve been blessed with our whole lives. For myself personally, I owe most of my friendships, relationships, and life experiences, to playing music.
Thank you for supporting us and helping us grow.
Love,
Play It Forward Wilmington
