West Seattle Community Day of Musical Instrument
Donations to Music4Life
Sponsor: West Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (a tax-exempt org.)
Date/Time of Event: Saturday, August 9, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Location: Key Bank at Alaska Junction (Corner of California Ave SW
& SW Alaska Street in West Seattle)

Goal: To receive and acknowledge donations of gently used
musical instruments for repair and refurbishing, to enable
students in need to participate in school music programs.

Types of Instruments Needed: All orchestra and band instruments, as well
as guitars. Most needed: trumpets/coronets, clarinets,
flutes, and violins.
What is Music4Life: Music4Life is a local nonprofit organization that puts

instruments into the hands of students whose families
cannot afford to rent or purchase, making it possible for
them to participate in school music programs.

Why Donate: Many people have lovingly used musical instruments in
their garages or attics, or in storage. When reminded, they
ask themselves “Why am I still carting this instrument
around? Music4Life understands that some people have
precious memories of their used musical instruments. We
do not want a reluctant giver. We instead want donors who
appreciate the unique value of instrumental music in the life
and education of a child—and want all children regardless
of family need, to experience it. Music4Life partners with
preferred, local professional music repair shops for
discounted restoration of these instruments.
