Champions of Music Education Wanted
The Musical Youth Foundation is searching for 300 Champions of Music Education to help us provide life-changing music education programmes to over 500 children that otherwise wouldn’t ever get the opportunity to benefit from learning to play a musical instrument.
Already supporting the campaign are: Ticketmaster, Universal Music, the Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO), Litton Lane, Tower Records, Celtic Collections, St. Patrick’s Credit Union and Sunshine Radio. The charity is also working closely with Bank of Ireland along with a team of 20+ volunteers from Salesforce Ireland.

Is your company a Music Education Champion?
The Musical Youth Foundation children’s charity is searching for Ireland’s Music Education Champions. Corporate or private individuals who understand that music education has the power to transform lives, ensuring vulnerable children remain engaged with the overall academic education process and have the opportunity to achieve a brighter future. Music is the very fabric of our society and together we can weave a wonderful tapestry where every child has access to education equality and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
So how can you help?
We’re looking for 300 Champions to donate just €500 each to help change the lives of vulnerable children throughout Ireland. Join the Musical Youth Foundation mission and become a Music Education Champion today and together we will impact the lives of hundreds and then thousands of children.
Credit where credit is due!
Support our mission and we’ll recognise your donation by presenting you with a limited edition framed artwork created especially to honour Ireland’s Music Education Champions by artist Aga Szot and personalised with your name or company name. This would hold pride of place in your office or company reception area and will be a real talking point for visitors.
And that’s not all…we’ll also provide you with an “Official Supporters” logo which you can include on your website and email signature so all your colleagues and clients can see that you are one of Ireland’s exclusive Music Education Champions. In addition we’ll credit you via one of our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn) and include your logo on our website with a link back to your website.
And there’s more…every quarter we’ll send you an update including photos/video highlighting the progress of the young people whose lives you’re helping to change for the better. You can then tell your staff, clients and business associates about the difference you are making to the youth of Ireland.
Next steps…
