Thank you so much for your support of our GMYS Instrument Drive fundraiser on Power2Give!  We were able to raise $7,500 in just a few days!  Because our need for instruments is great and more people have expressed an interest in giving, we have set up a 2nd round of the project on Power2Give to raise an additional $5,000.  Donations will still be matched by the Knight Foundation, doubling a donors impact!  Please help us spread the word by forwarding the link to friends/family/neighbors/coworkers and also posting the link to your facebook page!
