We had our first ever major fundraising event in June in St. Petersburg and raised $2500 to help Travis receive studio equipment to continue his career in making beats. We were able to purchase an updated computer, FL studio (ultimate version with help from FL themselves!), a midi keyboard, studio grade headphones, and studio monitors. He has been producing beats ever since!

In addition, we were able to donate $1500 to Project No Labels for their mental health intiative! Our work is helping those outside of the music world as well!

This time we are raising money to help our foster youth and those in juvenile detention centers through the work that Bethany is doing. She teaches free string lessons to these youth specifically in cello. She needs instruments and equipment to continue her work with these kiddos, and we are here to help with that.

We are also raising money to help a young rising star, Nora, pay for music lessons. She is a very talented multi-instrumentalist that plays guitar, ukulele, bass, and sings. She is wanting to be a professional music and is currently learning Sgamatto studios in St. Pete. Another area that we specialize in! Let's help her achieve her dreams!

Due to the recent disasters directly affecting a lot of our musicians, we have made this a free event to attend. We think it is important that our youth have a huge supporting audience to hear them play their music. Although we made the event free to attend, we do still have costs associated with the production of the event. We received a $1500 grant from the City of Orlando to alleviate some of the cost, but we still need about $4000 to help us break even. Anything else we raise goes right back to our musical community through our two causes.

If you need even more convincing, you can see exactly what we would be purchasing with our raised funds on our Cordero Musicians page. We hve an amazon link with the wish list for Bethany. Please consider making a mothly recurring donation or just a one time donation to help us continue to have amazing events like this and support our youth.

If you want to come see the festiva, it happens on 11/30 and 12/1 at Wall Street Plaza in downtown Orlando from 1 pm - 9 pm. We are having so many amazing youth bands playing as well as hosting clinics for attendees as well. Our clinicians are teaching on songwriting, composition, music business, getting paid gigs, etc. It is not to be missed!
