Band of Angels
Band of Angels wrote on their website: “We Believe Music is for Everyone.” The charity began in 2010 when Kansas City-based music shop Meyers Music gave a clarinet to a student in need. Almost 10 years later, Band of Angels has grown immensely, collecting instruments and donations to make music education accessible to children who can’t afford it. BOA has awarded $200,000 in scholarships, provided about 2,000 instruments to students and schools, and sent 315 students to music camp.
