Sun. June 8th – Play it FORWARD Live Music Charity Event at The Polk Theatre

A full day of live music by local musicians benefiting the Polk County Schools music education program. Music education, especially toward the fields of science, medicine, and engineering, has been proven to provide a strong foundation for learning. Today, Polk schools’ music education program continues to suffer from significant budget reductions on top of increased student enrollment. A dedicated group of local musicians have volunteered their time and talent to raise money specifically to benefit Polk music education through fundraising that will help get musical instruments into young hands.More details to come regarding admission, our website, etc. In the meantime, please contact Tommy Butch or Brian Everhart if you are interested in being a sponsor or making donation before, during, or after the event.In addition to the music, we will have food and beverage vendors.
