Street Music Week 2024
Raised $30,074.82!
Hello Buskers!
Thank you to everyone for making Street Music Week a resounding success. First on the agenda is to report the final numbers for Street Music Week 2024. After a few more online donations in the past couple days our 2024 total is at an incredible $30,074.82. Also 2nd Harvest told me that the total raised for all 22 years of Street Music Week is now at $375,000.
This has happened with the help and contributions of so many people and some thank yous are in order for this accomplishment. First of all thank you to the buskers! Your music produced so much good and now has an ongoing positive effect that 2nd Harvest will use to nourish neighbors facing hunger. I want to thank the Ella Fitzgerald Foundation and Integrity Insurance Solutions, both who encouraged buskers and listeners alike with bucket matching funds. We also need to send a HUGE thank you to our friend John Huckabay, who added yet another generous check to support 2nd Harvest. Thank you to Julie Shepard-Hall at the Garland District, Jenny Wayman in Coeur d'Alene, and Hank Greer downtown who always make sure musicians have what they need and collect the bucket money. Finally I want to thank Doug Clark and Jim Lyons for making and guiding Street Music Week into what it is today.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this community. Area musicians like you have stepped up every year to help fight hunger. Thank you!
If you'd like to busk online for 2nd Harvest anytime, go to 2-harvest.org/streetmusic and click "create an online red bucket" to get started. It's easy and fun.
Thanks again and we'll see you next year on the street!
