Donating to Prairie K-12 Music Programs

Give a little, Help A Lot! Prairie Music has a lot of different things for a lot of different people. Join our Patron Program with a direct donation and/or a sponsor of our upcoming fundraising events. Originating in 1997, the Prairie Music Patrons Program is an annual pledge of support for the long-term programs funded by PMA. Examples of patron support purchases include marching band uniforms (a $65-$70,000 expenditure), large brass instruments ($5-$20,000 each), show choir equipment and much more.

Donations and Event Sponsorship

All you have to do is make a contribution of any size. We welcome all kinds of Patrons: students, grandparents, neighbors, and friends of music at Prairie. Sponsoring an event depends on the event's needs and opportunities.
