    Crescendo Challenge

    The Crescendo Challenge partners with WHS Instrumental Music Angel Donors and runs during the fall months until the end of January with a goal of raising $15,000.

    What is the challenge? To meet a donation match of $7500! We have assembled a group of Westlake High School Instrumental Music angel donors who have each pledged a total of $7,500 in matching contributions. In other words, if we are able, through your efforts, to generate $7,500 in donations, they will match it for a total of $15,000! Please therefore thoughtfully consider a charitable gift to our program. No amount is too small!
