Saving the Music

A reason to holler: One of the best non-profits around just made a big contribution to music education in Little Rock. In a ceremony this morning, the "Save the Music" foundation donated $50,000 worth of musical instruments to Wakefield and Terry Elementaries. The program, jointly sponsored by Comcast and VH1, has donated $325,000 to Little Rock School District Schools.
