Fundraiser we're supporting · Now through December 2026
Send West High Strings to the Midwest Clinic
A $20,000 campaign for the 400+ students in the West High string program, run by the orchestra program with the Foundation for the Iowa City Community School District.
Gifts go to the Foundation for the Iowa City Community School District, which holds the orchestra's fund and runs the giving page. Cadenza is helping spread the word.
Why we're sharing this
This year, the West High Symphony Strings was invited to two of the biggest stages: The Midwest Clinic International Band and Orchestra Conference, and the American String Teachers Association (ASTA) National Orchestra Festival and Competition. Getting there costs money, and the program set a $20,000 goal to cover it.
