THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR
There was a wonderful community vibe in the house
and your presence made it happen! Relive the love by viewing the video and pictures in our Gallery. Special thanks to all our donors and sponsors! Together, you contributed or pledged $20,000 toward scholarships for children to attend Ubuntu Music Academy who could not otherwise attend! Our goal is to fund 40 children who need tuition, musical instruments, transportation and supplies. We will post more information about our Scholarship Campaign on July 1, but you can get a head start by donating now. Donate Now! |
BUMP programs educate, inspire and empower children and youth by immersing them in the artistic excellence, resilience and innovation of music of the African Diaspora.
Your contribution will enable us to serve the many preschool and elementary children who learn and grow in musical proficiency, cultural literacy and resilience in BUMP programs throughout the year.
In our everyday lives, cultural divisions are strong. The music we listen to can make a strong statement about our identities. At BUMP events, I gained a greater appreciation of how African diaspora music unites us in our common desire for justice and community. |
I enjoyed the BUMP program. The instructor was extremely personable and easily related to the students. I look forward to working with the program next year. |
BUMP helps youth become well-rounded students and future contributors to society. Their work enhances the educational mission of parents, local educators and librarians in Durham. |
