It’s here! Day of Giving starts at noon, and I’m back as the ambassador.

We want the saxophone music to intensify (and I’m not just saying that because it’s my instrument)! The “loyal children” of the University of Cincinnati are raising funds to replace, repair, and endow instruments for the Bearcat Bands, including my beloved saxes.

If you’re a band alum, band fan, or part of the band family, today’s our day. Give at the link in bio or head to dayofgiving.uc.edu/amb/TUCBIDG for more info.

Take this as your sign—and give $10 at a time!
