The Uptown Music Collective’s
2024-2025 ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
This year’s Annual Campaign goal is to raise $40,000!
“The steps we take today will shape the lives of young musicians for decades to come. I hope you’ll join us in this essential work. Together, we can ensure the Uptown Music Collective remains a place where passion is nurtured, potential is realized, and lives are forever changed through the power of music…
Every note played, every lesson learned, and every connection made here is a step toward something greater. Your support isn’t just a gift—it’s a legacy.”
– Dave Brumbaugh, Executive Director

When you make your tax-deductible donation, you become part of the UMC family.
We’ll list your name and donor level in the Collective’s Annual Report and on our website, and we’ll count you among the army of supporters who believe in our work as much as we do.
Words from our students
Uptown Music Collective student Gianna Waldman is a prime example of the commitment and dedication that the Collective believes it takes to create a well-rounded musician. Gianna started taking lessons at the UMC when she was thirteen years old. Throughout her time with the Collective, she has participated in lessons, classes, workshops, showcases, and has performed in community performance groups. She continues to perform and direct major performances on the Community Arts Center stage. Fast forward to today … Gianna is a senior at Montoursville Area High School.
Please read a few of her words:
“The Collective makes me feel like I am a part of something special, something that I know most people will never experience in their lives. Some of my friends from school ask me how much time I put into Uptown, and I tell them the truth – it’s a lot. They often look at me and say I’m crazy or say nothing is worth putting that much time into, but I will never forget my first time on the CAC stage and that feeling, alone, is worth all of the time in the world.”
There are 100 other students – just like Gianna – who are benefitting from the work of our staff, teachers, and programming as we guide them to becoming great musicians and even better humans.
