Elementary Education Student At Shippensburg State College Inspired To Fundraise For Music Empowers Foundation

Education major and Kris Allen fan, Mikaela Bell took note of Kris Allen’s recent support of Music Empowers and proceeded to visit the Foundation website. She was so inspired by what she saw and learned there that she went back to her old school district in Hanover, PA and convinced them to support her in sponsoring a school-based fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the Music Empowers Foundation. While Mikaela’s old school has a wonderful music education program, she wanted to impress upon the students that not all children are so lucky and that they must do their part to help bring music education to children in underserved areas.

The fundraiser will take place in early January, 2011 and will be showcased in our January Newsletter as well as on the Foundation’s website and Facebook page. Music Empowers Foundation would like to express its sincere gratitude to Mikaela and hope that her initiative will inspire others to do the same.
