Awards From The Foundation

Giving The Gift Of Music To Children


The Foundation’s charitable work began with a music award for graduating students at Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School—Ramona’s alma mater. As we’ve grown, so has our mission. With the support of our generous community, we’ve expanded our efforts to include band camp scholarships, group performance opportunities, music therapy, continuing education scholarships, and instrument donations to school music programs. Through it all, we remain committed to inspiring confidence and bringing the gift of music to children.
