Background
Jerry's most enduring accomplishment — and, according to himself, his proudest — was bringing stringed-instrument education to North Carolina’s Dare County. Fifteen years ago, at age 70, he sold the idea to the school board, then put out a search for used instruments, collected loose change in donation boxes, canvassed every possible funding source, found a violin teacher, and made First Flight Middle School the pilot. The program was so successful that it spread to every school in Dare County, from fourth grade through high school, then launched the Dare County Youth Orchestra, which remains a vibrant performing organization for young musicians.
Your donation will go to the Jerry Manolas scholarship fund, which will provide stringed instruments to students who can't afford to pay for their own.
