Drive by gifting! Ethos instructor pays it forward.
December 15, 2009
Ethos instructor Amoree Lovellreceived a fun surprise at the bus stop yesterday… A couple drove up and handed out cards with $20 bills to everyone with a note suggesting they “pay it forward.” Amoree obliged and donated the $20 to Ethos — giving us enough funds to loan out two more musical instruments to low-income kids. Amoree’s selfless story was featured on both KPTV Channel 12 and KOIN Channel 6!
Thank you Amoree and all of Ethos’ instructors for your continued support of Ethos and our mission to bring music back to every child!
