It was an amazing year for Fanfare! As we move through another December, we pause and take a moment to think about the transformational power of music and the arts on young lives of Galveston children! We could not do this without the generosity of others. So, before we close the books on 2019, we ask you to consider a year-end gift.
A tax-deductible gift of just $50 will pay for a full month of lessons for a child; a gift of any amount will make such a difference to our organization. There is no amount too big or too small to change lives. Please donate at

Thank you for your support and have a happy and safe New Year!
