Welcome to
Horns For Kids!
Horns For Kids, Inc. is a tax-exempt (501c3) non-profit organization that supports deserving school music programs throughout
Connecticut. Our main purpose is to encourage children to experience the thrill of performing music in school, and as a life-long
activity. H4K raises funds through private and corporate contributions -- and awards clean, playable instruments to deserving
school music programs throughout Connecticut. We accept donations of new and gently used instruments, have them refurbished,
and distribute them to deserving Connecticut schools. Since 2003, H4K has helped well over 300 Connecticut schools.
Donate a musical instrument to Horns For Kids, and we'll make sure that it gets to a student who can use it! All
kinds of gently-used and/or new instruments are needed: brass, woodwind, string, percussion and keyboards. Go to the
DONATE AN INSTRUMENT page by clicking on the "hot" musicians below -- or the button in the navigation bar. [Your donation is tax-deductible.]

Darien HS Tri-M Raises Funds
for H4K
For the second year in a row, the Darien High School chapter of Tri-M Music Honor Society has raised significant funds
for Horns For Kids. Under the direction of Chapter president, Jeffrey Sload, the Darien HS chapter raised $2,400 dollars
for Horns For Kids during this past December/January Holiday Season. We are very grateful for the work of these students
who organized the drive on their own. They have made it possible for other deserving students in Connecticut to experience
the thrill of making music. And at the same time they have shown by their example that doing for others is what the
Holiday season is all about. Horns For KIds is thankful for their contribution to music education in Connecticut.
