The Janis Stockhouse Endowment Fund was established through the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County (CFBMC) as a means of providing much-needed support for the entire Bloomington North band program on a permanent and ongoing basis, regardless of economic times.
The proceeds from this fund will be available to fund items outside of the usual budget, such as rhythm section instruments and amplifiers for the jazz program, large woodwind, brass and percussion instruments for the concert bands, and special needs of the marching band.
Donations to the Janis Stockhouse Endowment Fund may be made online through CFBMC’s website. For other ways to donate, please contact the CFBMC at (812) 333-9016 or info@cfbmc.org.
