SCHOLARSHIPS
Our Story
President, Lucas Jones
The origins of FLUTES4KIDS began with one powerful act of generosity during my high school years.
After I shared my dream of starting a marching band at Calvary Christian Academy, Mary Shae donated over twenty-five thousand dollars in just 24 hours to make it possible.
Her compassion and dedication to supporting education and the arts inspired the creation of FLUTES4KIDS. Guided by her legacy, we continue her mission—empowering young flutists to pursue their education, performance, and musical dreams.
