The recipient of the 100 Women Who Care donation for September was the Music Program at R.D. Parker Collegiate.

With the funds received, Band Director Kevin Lewis says they have purchased a number of new instruments to add to their collection.

They acquired four new flutes, two new clarinets, one Alto saxophone, and one trumpet.

Lewis indicated that the flutes are particularly in high demand and their addition will enable extra students to access the band program.

100 Women Who Care will award their next grant in early December.
