Congratulations to our 2011 Lots2Give Video Contest Winners!

Selected schools were asked to submit a short video and brief essay explaining why their school was in need of financial support. Then we turned to the public to vote for their favorite video. Those votes determined the 35 winners, which included one $20,000 grand prize, four $5,000 first place prizes and thirty $2,000 second place prizes.

Special thanks to all Lots2Give participants and the thousands of people who voted!

The Zebra Music Family

Wayne Memorial High School

Wayne, MI

The Wayne Memorial music program is more than a program; it is a family. This family fulfills so many of our students’ needs that it really is the pride of Wayne Memorial High School. Currently, the resources we can provide cannot match the program’s tremendous growth. If awarded this money, we would use it to purchase more uniforms, instruments, storage space, and choir risers. We know our music program could meet all of the needs of our students with these additional funds.
