FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GRATEFUL DAD DONATES SCHOLARSHIP, INSPIRES OTHERS TO DO SAME YOUNG ROCK MUSICIANS ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY, AUDITION BY DEC 27 Salt Lake City, UT The father of two boys enrolled in the MusicGarage.org rock band program, MusicGarage-Kids! has seeded a one-year scholarship fund and wants individuals and businesses to join him to promote the MusicGarage.Org youth program. Jeffrey Zitting, the father of Ben, 12 and Cameron, 14 who are enrolled in the MusicGarage.Org rock band program, has seen his sons grow musically, socially and academically since starting with the after-school program. Inspired by this progress, Mr. Zitting posted that his company donated a one-year scholarship on his Facebook page which post produced applications, essays and auditions immediately. MusicGarage.org encourages intermediate-to-advanced rock musicians under 18 to apply and audition before Christmas. Jeff Zitting commented, I invite individuals and businesses to sponsor a young musician by donating to the Utah Arts Alliance and putting MusicGarage.Org Scholarship in the memo line. MusicGarage.org Director, Steve Auerbach, I am grateful to Jeff Zitting and his Primary Residential Mortgage company for starting this. With no outside funding other than modest parent fees, I have funded the scholarship slots personally and this kind of help is a big relief! For business people like Jeff, the goodwill that this kind of community outreach provides is hard to beat because each scholarship lasts for a year and donors get photos and videos as progress reports on their musician to share on Facebook yearround as well as mentions on our website. For any business marketing department, this is a brilliant innovation and value! Thanks to a fiscal sponsorship by the non-profit Utah Arts Alliance, donors can take the tax-deduction for the 2012 fiscal year.
