Opportunity to help our local children’s museum: musical instrument donations 🎸🥁🎹🎺🎻

🎵 Help Us Fill the Museum with Music! 🎵

We are excited to be redesigning the music area at the CRR Discovery Museum, featuring an incredible Willie Nelson signed guitar and sheet music as a centerpiece of the space.

Now we need your help bringing the rest of the exhibit to life!

Do you have a guitar, keyboard, ukulele, drum, tambourine, or other musical instrument collecting dust in a garage, closet, or storage room? Instead of sitting unused, it could inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of music in hundreds of children who visit the Museum each month.

We are currently accepting donations of gently used musical instruments to help create a hands-on, interactive music experience for children and families.

If you have an instrument you’d like to donate, please send us a message or contact the Museum for more information.

Together, let’s put more music into the hands of children. 🎶❤️

"I have found joy in connecting with fellow Saints through the shared language of sacred music. And especially through the simple songs of Primary, the Holy Spirit has transcended language barriers and filled my heart with His whispering. In children’s voices, the love of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, has been proclaimed in clear, piercing truth."
Sister Tracy Y. Browning - October 2025 General Conference

On June 24-25, The Tabernacle at Temple Square will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It will be 100 years since they debuted there. You can get tickets online to attend in person, or there will be watch parties across the country. Reach out to your local leaders if you have any questions. 100% of proceeds will go to charities of local organizations such as CARE, Helen Keller Intl, and The Hunger Project, with all donations matched by the Church's Humanitarian Services.
