Fund a Need

Every year, the Rotary Club of Independence’s Mardi Gras Gala features a Fund-a-Need portion of the event where attendees directly support the worthy organization Rotary has selected to be the beneficiary. Money raised at the 2025 gala will directly support current and prospective students with scholarships. Our goal is to ensure any student who wants to further their musical education is able to do so, no matter their family’s resources. Donations during that time will help us do that.

This year, we want to get things started with a bang! We would love to make an announcement that MAI friends, families and alumni have come together to support MAI students. Every bit helps — $10, $25, $50 or more. All that is raised before the event will encourage those in attendance to also further support our cause!

To help, please click the button and select “Fund-A-Need” in the right menu, where you can enter any amount. Thank you for your support!
