The Minstrel Foundation has contributed $15,000 to the Hammer Band to cover the cost of 25 Hammer Band students for the 30 weeks of the 2020/2021 school year and funds needed to purchase 10 tablets to distribute to students who do not have a computer or tablet and 20 violins to replenish inventory and provide new students with an instrument.

The experience gained in the Summer Jam program provided the Hammer Band with the knowhow to operate all of their programs online for the duration of the 2020-2021 school year.
