We are asking for donations to help support our instrumental music programs in District 90. Studies and parental experience show music enriches children’s lives culturally, academically and socially. Maintaining the high caliber of instrumental music education in our schools requires funds far exceeding many school districts’ budgets.

The Parent Instrumental Music Association of River Forest (PIMA) raises funds to support the instrumental music program at our schools. These benefit more than 300 students who participate in three string orchestras, three bands, one percussion and two jazz ensembles. Your generous donations purchase and repair instruments, music holders, instrument storage, chairs, music stands, pay for special workshops, clinics and field trips, and purchase computers and recording equipment to support the program.

Our annual fundraiser, A Little Night Music, will be held on Friday, April 21, 2023 at Roosevelt Middle School. The event includes a silent auction, raffle, and light refreshments. A concert featuring acts of professional musicians, students, alumni, music instructors, teachers, and parents is a highlight of the fun evening. We typically sell hundreds of tickets to this event.

We are seeking monetary donations, silent auction/raffle items, and food donations for our fundraiser event. Your business will be prominently featured on our auction table and listed in our concert program.
