Renee's Story
"My mother's parents were born in mainland China, but fled to Taiwan because of political turmoil when they were less than 10 years old. Their academic efforts eventually resulted in them graduating from top tier universities in Taiwan and in the United States.
My father's parents grew up in California's Central Valley. Their hard work and entrepreneurship enabled my father to attend university and begin a legacy of higher education.
My goal is to provide high-quality music education to underserved populations, like my family was. With your help, we can not only provide children with musical instruments and musical training, but also give them the confidence and skills they need to achieve a college education."
