Terry’s Kids, one of PVF’s designated funds, provides music educational clinics, concerts, and studio and live performance projects for kids of all ages.

Recently, Terry’s Kids helped a bright 17-year-old named Monty obtain a playable saxophone. Monty comes from a tough home situation, and he works odd jobs while in school to support his family. Despite his situation, he held a 4.0 grade average and is now on scholarship to Columbia University starting this fall.

As a saxophone player, his instrument was essentially unplayable, but it was all he could afford. By gathering donations, Terry’s Kids was able to provide him with a new Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone. Now a dedicated young musician has a great instrument to showcase his talent!
