Help Repair Gently Used Instruments
Give Them Music
A child’s musical journey can begin with you.
Since 2017, Milwaukee residents have donated hundreds of no longer played instruments from their closets, attics, and basements.
A trumpet played in WWII Trinidad…
A sax from the ‘64 World’s Fair…
A granddaughter’s first flute…
These once-cherished, now-worn instruments require repairs before gaining new life in the hands of children. By making a gift to the WCM Instrument Repair Fund, you have the power to shape a musical journey.
Your donation helps students in greater Milwaukee
Donated instruments, like cars, need tune-ups
