Eagle project provides instruments to Oakland Unified

As part of his Eagle Scout project with Troop 204, Acalanes High School junior Jack Innenberg worked to have the Lafayette community support less fortunate students in other areas. A lover of music, Innenberg wanted to do an Eagle Project that both used music as well as could help others. Innenberg raised over $13,000 to purchase instruments, repair instruments and send Oakland Unified School District students to Cazadero band camp over the summer. Innenberg contacted OUSD and learned that their music program budget has been drastically cut (essentially to zero) and they had almost no budget for new instruments, repairs and camps. Jack led a group of boys to repair instruments at the OUSD warehouse, raised around $7,000 from the local community in cash donations after making contacts through an email campaign, flyers, and a very successful fundraiser in front of Diablo Foods, and received donations of 12 band instruments that were donated to OUSD.
