Donate to the Sabia Scholarship
The Sabia Scholarship was founded in honor of the parents of our Executive Director, Jody Sabia Pongratz. Sal and Rose Ann Sabia were President and Vice President of their high school band and raised four children in a musical household.
In honor of the 70th anniversary celebrated in April, 2023, this scholarship was started to provide financial assistance to those who are unable to afford private lessons or classes. This fund will support our Harmony Fund for Financial Aid in addition to providing scholarships for students for studying music in college.
