  • Encouraging students through the magic of music by offering band camp, sponsoring a 5th-grade choral festival, and providing private instruction to underserved students.
  • Providing baseball instruction in a family-friendly, positive environment through Dierker’s Champs.
  • Providing skills for life in select secondary schools through the Ambassadors of Compassion mentoring program.
