The Peter T Blake Memorial Foundation is an organization dedicated to honoring the memory of a young musician who passed away on December 31, 2023 at the age of 25. Peter was a jazz bassist who loved nothing more than to play music and to spread his love and passion for jazz,
The mission of this foundation is to provide scholarships to high school students pursuing music degrees and to donate musical instruments and resources to elementary schools in need.
It is through these efforts we aim to keep
Peter's love of music and passion for jazz alive.
Our fundraiser will be an annual event the second Sunday in January.
Help us raise awareness about our cause by sharing our mission with your friends and family. Follow us on social media and invite others to join our community.
If you're passionate about making a difference, join our team and become part of the Peter T Blake Memorial Foundation family. We're always looking for dedicated individuals to help us achieve our goals.
Aesop
Our first ever fundraiser was a complete success!
Our original goals were to raise enough for 2 $1000 scholarships, have
10 items to raffle and 50 in attendance.
We blew those goals out of the water!
With 35 baskets to raffle, 4 silent auction items, and over 130 attendees, we raised enough for those scholarships and to fund our grant for this year!
The next phase is to start collecting string instruments and
getting them into young musicians hands.
Stay tuned. Big announcements coming soon.
The countdown to our next fundraiser has begun!

Donate gently used string instruments.
Let us take your cello, upright bass, viola and/or violin out of your closet and into the hands of a child in need of an instrument.
These instruments will be detailed and ready to be played again.
Our first donated viola! We hope to get this into the hands of a child who doesn't have the means to be able to afford an instrument.
