Peoria Instrument Project Donates Violin to East Peoria Student

No April Fools here! Board members from the Peoria Instrument Project gave a violin to Chase today! Chase had played violin in his school orchestra before moving to a school without an orchestra. His teacher, Kelly Moyer, reached out to us to make sure Chase had a violin so he could continue playing.

We were able to purchase a quality used violin thanks to a donation from Debbie Wissel Burrows made in memory of her mother, Mary Wissel, who was an educator with a deep love for music. Special thanks to Matt Grebner for providing some extras to ensure the violin plays its best.
