Music + Shopping + Mental Health

Altar'd State donated to the Dunedin Music Society
June 9, 2022 by DMS Online No Comments
Live music at Altar'd State by the DMS

Dillon and Donna perform live music at Altar’d State, Tampa

In January, a local clothing retail store manager asked if music helped people’s mental health. Yes, we replied, and then we were told that every Monday that store donates 10% of their revenue to a local charity based on a theme set by the store’s corporate head office. For Quarter 1, 2022, that theme was “healing through music and the Arts.”

We were in!

A partnership was created to encourage shoppers to buy products in person on Mondays throughout the giving period, which included the DMS sending performers into the store for a “Mondays @ 2” recital series.

Yes, the DMS gave concerts in a store at International Plaza in Tampa for 14 weeks 🙂

The end result is that the store, Altar’d State, donated over $7,800 to the DMS!

Violinist Karen Schmidt also performed at Altar'd State during their Mission Monday for mental health and the arts

Turns out this was the second largest donation this particular store has ever given a charity (in over five years).

We want to give special thanks to Angelika Robison, Assistant Manager of Guest Engagement, and Dillon Acey, who made this partnership possible but who had returned to Boston before the check presentation ceremony.

It’s such a cool store, too, with bohemian-style clothing and accessories. Here’s hoping we can partner with Altar’d State again in the future…

https://fervent.us/DunedinMS

In case you didn’t get our previous messages, here is an amazing opportunity:

A generous sponsor has pledged $10,000 to support the Dunedin Music Society, and this is your chance to help release those funds. Just 300 donations must be secured to release that massive gift.

Will you help?

Two simple steps will get us closer to the required 300 donations:

1. Use the link above to give a gift of any amount!

2. Upload & share one of your favorite photos in our customized frame to your social media feeds (or via text to as many people as you can), so that more people will give.

This process is super simple, but if you need help our team is ready to assist.

All of us behind the scenes, the performers, audiences and communities the DMS serves are TRULY GRATEFUL for your support as we close our incredible COVID Catch-Up Challenge with this final boost.

+ Your gift is appreciated.
