Information: During the month of March, Shine.FM will be collecting new and gently used art/music supplies for our Heart for Art Campaign in honor of Disability Awareness Month. These supplies will be donated to several facilities that specialize in helping people with different disasbilites.
Spring into the new season with us by donating to our Heart for Art Community Giveback. We will be donating brand-new or gently used music and art supplies to facilities that specialize in helping the voices of artists with disabilities. Items will be collected at Shine in Your Community events, as well as the Shine.FM studio in Bourbonnais, IL. It takes a team, and when you partner with Shine.FM, you are partnering with them. Contact our Listener Engagement Director with questions.
