2026 Online Summer Fundraiser

If you live in Colorado, you've likely heard that the Jefferson County School District will cut approximately $41 million from its 2026-2027 school-year budget. Those cuts will have an impact across the district, including on the RVHS instrumental music program. One of those cuts was to transportation for the program. School buses have been provided for most of the program's travel to competitions and events, but for the 2026-2027 school year, those costs will need to be covered by the Boosters. The estimated cost for those is about $6,000.

Our program is also growing, which is wonderful! However, it also makes the funding needs even more urgent. Right now, we need $4,000 of string instrument repairs to make sure every orchestra student has access to a good working instrument, and are in need of two new cellos - each of which is $1,100. Band instruments that suffer through the wear and tear of marching season will need repairs this winter, and there are always other financial needs that unfortunately come up for the program.

The Ralston Valley Music Boosters (RVMB) are working hard to continue to support the program and make up this new funding gap, and we would love your help. The Boosters are a parent-led 501(c)3 non-profit that works to provide the significant financial support and countless hours of volunteer time needed for the program. Funds raised this summer through Colorado Gives will be used to repair instruments and provide transportation throughout the school year for the program. If we exceed our goal, the funds will be used to pay instructor and competition fees; feed the kids meals and snacks at competitions; mend, alter and clean uniforms; send students to leadership and performance camps; sponsor workshops and clinicians; provide scholarships; cater celebratory banquet and award ceremonies; and perform other activities to support the instrumental music program at RV.
