AAPA Testimonial

Dear Donn,

A am writing to thank you for the creative effort you gave to our "Be Instrumental" findraising campaign. It was outstanding!

Initially, our goal was to raise $150,000 towards our efforts to purchase 60 brass instruments for members of The Academy Drum & Bugle Corps, a division of the Arizona Academy of the Performing Arts.

We had expected it would take five years before we could complete this objective. To our surprise, we were delighted to raise nearly $165,000 within a three year period.

We attribute this success to your inspired work on this campaign. Only you could take a complicated concept and translate it into simple words to inspire people to help suport the dreams of our young students.

Other organizations in the Drum Corps community were so impressed; they made failed efforts to emulate this program. It was your inspired concept that made the difference.

Thank you once again for helping us with this successful campaign. We are delighted to be working with such a creative individual and professional

Sincerely,

Mark Richardson
Executive Director
Arizona Academy of the Performing Arts
