The Ramsay High School Choir Booster Club, Inc. needs help quickly to purchase a needed piano. With a purchase deadline soon approaching, the Steinway piano located at Glasco Piano Services in Montgomery, Ala., and sold for a greatly reduced price of $15,100 is ready to help students continue to exercise their musical excellence at a school known for just that.
To help with the effort, alums nationwide like Dr. Prince Yelder are hosting benefits to fund this important effort. Dr. Yelder, Ramsay High Class of 1985, will hold a benefit concert at Birmingham, Alabama’s New Hope Baptist Church (1740 Cleburn Avenue SW, Birmingham, AL 35211). The event will be held on Saturday, November 15 at 6p,m. The concert will feature the Birmingham Mass Choir, Disciples for Christ, New Hope Mass Choir and the Ramsay High School Concert Choir.
Boosters are rallying other grassroots efforts to help in this cause, but realize it cannot accomplish the goal without much community support. Together as a community of caring, giving friends we can do this.
