For nearly a decade, the MusiCounts Leaders Circle have worked together to change the landscape of music education for Canadian youth.

This dedicated group of philanthropists, musicians, and industry veterans was initially gathered by Linda Schuyler (CM OOnt) and Stephen Stohn (CM) through a landmark $500,000 donation that carved a path for like-minded leaders to make a difference in the lives of Canadian youth.

In the ten years since its inception, the Leaders Circle has raised 1.28 million dollars for the MusiCounts School Music Funding Program, representing transformational investments for 64 schools. These funds have financed the purchase of instruments, equipment, and gear that keep music programs alive - and thriving - for students in need.

"The work that MusiCounts does through its Band Aid Program has a widespread, tangible impact, not only for kids enrolled in school today, but for kids enrolling for many years to come. They will reap the benefits of music education because of the thousands of musical instruments MusiCounts supplies across Canada each year. I encourage everyone to join us in supporting MusiCounts’ mission to make music accessible to all children and youth." - Mark Cohon, former chair of CARAS/The JUNO Awards & MusiCounts.
