I am sure you have heard about the devastating fires that are currently happening in Australia.
Along with that I am sure you have seen many campaigns donating to disaster relief there recently...
For me personally protecting the environment is something I am very passionate about. As a lover of polar bears, I want to make the world and our environment a place where diverse animals, plants, and humans can survive for future generations. Oftentimes in the midst of a significant environmental disaster, like what is currently happening in Australia, it can be difficult to know how to help.
I have done some research and found a couple charities that are the best for donating to in this situation.
NRDC which is more focused on the animals and the environment.
Direct Relief which is focused on disaster relief for the people and Australia as a whole.
I hope that helps if you were wanting to donate, but were not sure what organizations would be the best.
I also want to use my ability as the sole owner of QuickStart Clarinet to contribute to this cause as well.
The fires are only expected to get worse over the coming months, so for every sale of The Next Generation Clarinet Method Book for the month of January I will donate $10 to each of the above charities! If you have been thinking about getting the book, but haven't yet, now is the perfect time to get it and help a meaningful cause.
I will also personally be donating on behalf of everyone who has already purchased the book. I will donate $5 to each of the above charities in their honor.
Whether you already have The Next Generation Clarinet Method Book, are going to purchase it, or are not interested in it, I want to encourage you to still donate to those charities directly as well!
I know everyone in the QuickStart Clarinet Community is a caring person and I can't wait to see how we can come together to help out with Australia! At the end of the month I will put out the receipts of the donations so we can see how much we raised. If you donate directly, feel free to let me know by commenting below or emailing [email protected] and I will add that in to the total!
