Testimonials
This is what happens when you support our 5k:
"My students and I have been lucky enough to be recipients of the Musicians Care Fund. We've received bus funding to attend PSO Schooltime concerts, money to purchase ukuleles, and a speaker system for our music room. When cuts to education happen, the arts are always the first to suffer. The Musicians Care Fund helps music educators offer students the music education and experiences that they deserve. Thank you for everything you do for educators and students!" - Sarah Giliberto, Teacher at Pittsburgh Carrick High School
"...I love the Mindful Music Moments (made possible by the PSO Musicians Care Fund), especially the playlist on Spotify that will play continuously in the morning while my students eat their breakfast. I do adore this program and the music you make available for my students." - Danielle Lynch, Teacher at Apollo Ridge Elementary School
The Musicians of Steel 5k raises funds for the PSO Musicians Care Fund
The Musicians Care Fund is an endowment established by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and administered by the Pittsburgh Foundation. Its purpose is to directly benefit local school and community music programs that have undergone budget cuts due to funding losses.
The fund offers critical support in a myriad of ways, by funding instrument purchases, repairs, scholarships, lessons, transportation to PSO educational performances, and much more.
The musicians of the PSO believe deeply in the value of arts education, and we feel the responsibility to aid in the cultural enrichment of young people's lives.
