In their most recent newsletter, Movement gave a special shout-out to Give a Beat and our Music for Music Online Fundraising Campaign to raise funds for a Notes for Notes' free music studio in Detroit! Thank you for your continued support and love, Paxahau and Movement!


TEXT VERSION

Paxahau and Movement have been long-time supporters of the Give A Beat Foundation (the folks behind NextAid). Give A Beat launched a fundraising and awareness campaign during the 2014 festival called Music for Music in support of the creation of a Notes for Notes Music Studio at the Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan.

The auction kicked off on My 14th and ran through June 5th. It consisted of top music production gear from Movement partners like SubPac, Roland, Sennheiser and more, and collaborators like Groove Cruise, SoundCloud, Electric Forest Festival and more, plus Detroit-based donors like CAYA Bistro, React Presents, Starlily Creations and Cyboptix TieLab.

The $5,000 raised from the auction helped support the creation of the Notes for Notes Music Studio at the boys & Girls Club in Detroit. The music studio will be a hub where youth in the community, ages 6 and up, who are passionate about music can come together, regardless of their lives outside of those studio walls, with the resources and tools they need to thrive. It will be comprised of three rooms-jam, mix, and record-packed with guitars, drums, keys/synths, DJ and production equipment, digital music workstations, a vocal booth and more.

Thanks to the Music for Music campaign, our collective support , and recent additional funding, Notes for Notes (N4N) has successfully raised a full $40,000 to earn the matching duns pledged by The Knight Foundation. They have reached their initial fundraising goal and will be able to begin building and equipping the music studio this fall.
