Dear GMYS Friends and Families,

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!
