Buffalo Grove, IL – A heartwarming initiative led by the BG Singers, the Buffalo Grove Park District’s choral group, is bringing the joy of music to hospitalized children through a creative public art display. The Buffalo Grove Park District’s Community Arts Center is now home to a striking wall adorned with painted ukuleles, serving as both an artistic attraction and a beacon of hope.
These ukuleles are not mere art pieces; they are instruments with a purpose. Each ukulele, available for purchase at $100 each, contributes to a charitable cause that places ukuleles in the hands of young patients undergoing music therapy in hospitals. The proceeds from the ukulele sales will directly benefit the Ukulele Kids Club Inc., a Florida-based organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of these children.
The significance of this initiative is twofold. Not only does it adorn the Community Arts Center with a vibrant display of creativity, but it also provides a lifeline to young patients, offering them the therapeutic benefits of music during their challenging times.
The painted ukuleles will be on exhibit at the Community Arts Center, located at 225 McHenry Road, until the conclusion of September. This coincides with a momentous occasion for the BG Singers, who are set to return to the stage after a four-year hiatus. Their much-anticipated performances are scheduled for September 29th, 30th, and October 1st, all taking place at the Community Arts Center’s auditorium.
The BG Singers’ performances are slated for 7:30 p.m. on September 29th, with matinee shows at 3 p.m. on both September 30th and October 1st. This is a remarkable opportunity for the community to come together, enjoy exceptional choral performances, and support a noble cause simultaneously.
By purchasing one of these beautifully painted ukuleles, patrons not only acquire a unique work of art but also contribute to a meaningful endeavor that spreads the healing power of music among children facing health challenges.
