9Cares Music Drive

Remember the joy you received by playing your musical instrument? There are some children who want to play, but can’t afford to rent or buy an instrument. 9News is collecting musical instruments again this year! By donating an instrument, you are giving a child the chance to create music of their own. This year, 9News will be at three local free concerts in the park collecting instruments and cash donations. Cash donations will help repair and tune donated instruments.

Although musical instruments are not the first item on a school supply list, they are still an essential part of a child’s education.
The instruments collected during the concerts will be donated to Denver, Aurora, and Adams 14 School Districts, which have agreed to restore them for students in their music programs.
