#MakeMusicDay 2025
Date: June 21, 2025
Location: Global
On June 21st, Children in Harmony (CIH) hosted its 3rd Annual #MakeMusicDay campaign, setting a bold $100,000 goal to sustain and expand our flagship program, the Amani Project. Together, our community raised close to $27,000, matching the success of our 2024 campaign and continuing to build momentum for our future growth.
The campaign drew strength from several fronts: board members fundraising through their personal fundraising pages, our online auction on CharityBuzz showcasing exclusive experiences, and the backing of corporate partners who amplified our reach. Combined with heartfelt personal outreach and engaging social media storytelling, these efforts inspired both longtime supporters and new donors to join us in championing the power of music to change lives.
Just as music unites voices in harmony, #MakeMusicDay2025 united our global community. Together, we not only raised critical funds but also raised awareness of the transformative role music and emotional learning play in helping young people thrive.
This incredible achievement reflects the steadfast support of our donors, partners, and friends—who helped us empower youth worldwide through music. From India to Tanzania and across our global partner network, their commitment ensures that young people continue to gain emotional resilience, leadership skills, and belonging through the universal language of music.
