Why Your Support Matters

Music teachers often use basic buckets because classroom drums cost too much. But regular buckets were not made to be instruments. Beat 4 Beat is developing the BeatBucket: a strong, low-cost drum designed for students and teachers. Your gift will help us improve the design, build prototypes, and put them into kids’ hands for testing. What we learn will guide the next version. Our larger hope is to create a useful classroom instrument that can also help fund music programs for more children.

Ideas to get you started

Birthday fundraiser

Have birthday guests ask for donations rather than gifts. Encourage others to also set up a fundraising page where every dollar raised goes directly to humanitarian aid, where it’s needed most.

Fitness challenge

You can either plan this fundraiser as a virtual challenge for people to complete on their own time or gather everyone to participate in the challenge together.

Game night

Game nights are a popular way to support your cause. By creating a fundraiser today, you’ll help families receive relief faster and begin rebuilding their lives sooner.

“The stage we set for these kids ends up being one that all stakeholders feel empowered on. Beat for Beat is a platform for not just music empowerment, but community empowerment. Let’s dare to play for one and all. ”
