Mission Statement: To provide assistance for the healthy development of individual children by funding participation in their school's basic curriculum activities.

Brief Summary: The goal of the program is to provide musical instruments, equipment, and supplies, field trips and tutoring services to Lafayette Parish public school students in kindergarten through sixth grade whose families cannot afford to provide them. We respond to requests for support from school counselors, teachers, and principals.

Community Need: Children who participate in music, field trips and tutoring have greater success in school, socialization and community involvement. Applicants will not have musical instruments, field trips or tutoring without funding. Applications have increased with expansion of our program to include sixth grade, parental unemployment, and increased requests by school personnel.
