Mission
Waukegan public school students' growth through music.

BRAVO BUDDIES: Musical instruction provided at a minimal cost to Waukegan Public School students. Bravo Buddies is a 4-week Summer Camp that provides individual music lessons for the instrument that the Waukegan student chooses. Additionally, every week includes an exciting musical experience for the Camper that provides exposure to the Arts that they might not receive without the camp experience. This program has not only taught valuable music instruction but has proven to increase the students' confidence not only in music, not only in school, but also in life as a whole. INCOME NOTES: $7,440 was from a minimal registration fee of $50/camper for the entire 4-week period; $17,000 was from grants specifically restricted to Bravo Buddies; $1,250 was from individual donors specifically restricted to Bravo Buddies. EXPENSE NOTES: $604 was from advertising and office expenses for the camp; $42,890 was from paying Music Teachers and Camp Managers for the camp; $3,685 was spent on camp supplies and events for the 4-week time period.

INSTRUMENT CONNECTION PROGRAM: This program reaches out to the Waukegan Public School students to provide them with necessary instruments and instrument supplies in order to participate in various musical experiences that will promote education, experience, and growth that they may not otherwise be able to participate in. This program receives donations of used instruments and then repairs them, cleans them, and offers them to Waukegan students that are interested in learning the instrument. Some of the refurbished instruments are sold at cost to students who would like to "Own Your Own." All other donated instruments and musical supplies are eventually given to the Waukegan Public Schools for use in classrooms, not always in the same year that it was donated. INCOME NOTES: $44,582 of noncash instruments were donated in 2025; $10,000 was a foundation donation specifically restricted to the "Own Your Own" program; $4,661 was from a minimal charge for new or refurbished instruments that were purchased by students. EXPENSE NOTES: $11,642 of the 2025 noncash instruments donated were given to the Waukegan Public Schools; $690 of 2025 donated instruments were junked; $5,506 were charges paid to refurbish instruments and/or to purchase new instruments for students; $40 was from the purchase of a needed instrument for a Waukegan Public School that was then donated to them.

MIDDLE SCHOOL FESTIVAL: Over 800 Waukegan students come together and perform at a professional venue, the Genesee Theatre in downtown Waukegan. This annual Spring Concert spans two nights and showcases the rising talent in the schools. The young musicians are from the district's band, orchestra, mariachi, and choir programs. For many, it's their first opportunity to perform on a professional stage - an unforgettable experience that builds confidence, pride, and a lifelong love of music. The students' families attend free of charge. INCOME NOTES: There was a corporate donation of $5,000 specifically restricted for use at the Middle School Festival. EXPENSE NOTES: The Genesee Theatre charged $9,900 for the use of their venue, their equipment, and light refreshments over the two nights.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
