Blake Reese Memorial Scholarships
"Music is important, not just fun." Words to live by: music is healing, it brings people together, and requires discipline and focus that can positively impact someone struggling with a life issue, whether mental, physical, grief-related, or otherwise.
The Thompson family is reaching out to those students who desire music in their lives but are unable to make it a financial priority. They aim to carry on Blake's passion for music by offering therapeutic music scholarships to individuals facing challenges with mental, physical, or emotional issues. This can be for a music lesson, group class, or ensemble where music supplements the healing process.
