MARCH 16-28: DONATE AN INSTRUMENT TO BRINGING MUSIC TO LIFE
Since CPR launched the instrument drive in 2009, nearly 2,000 musical instruments have gone to more than 100 Colorado schools and music programs. The instrument drive continues in 2015 with the new non-profit Bringing Music to Life leading the effort and CPR serving as primary promotional partner. In this new role, CPR remains committed to sharing the power of music with children to build the next generation of Colorado musicians.
If you have an instrument in good condition, bring it to one of 17 donation locations during the Bringing Music to Life instrument drive, March 16-28.

Other stories include those of individuals and families struggling financially—like Denver teenager Luis Robles.
Through CPR’s Public Insight Network, you have an opportunity to share your experiences and ideas to inform CPR News reporting on this and other issues.
