Chinese Auction Pops!
Friday Feb. 6th, 2009.
The Chinese Auction to raise money for the Hal Blaine Scholarship Fund was a success and much fun. Some very lucky folks won some beautiful drum sets from Taye, as well as some wonderful gifts from Zildjian, Hal Leonard gift certificates and a private screening of the Wrecking Crew documentary. We still have a long journey ahead to raise the money necessary to endow Hal's scholarship ($50,000 in 2 years), and reach out to anyone coming across this site to dig deep and make a tax-free donation. We still have some pairs of drumsticks left from the party also, so all donations received will be awarded with a pair of Zildjian signature Hal Blaine drumsticks while supplies last.
Donation Information
- Checks payable to “Berklee College of Music”
- Make sure to write in “Hal Blaine Scholarship” in the memo field.
