Donate to Torrey Pines Music
Donations are essential to the music program at Torrey Pines. The program gets no funding from the district other than teacher salary, yet music programs are very expensive to run. We rely on donations to cover the costs of coaching, sheet music, instruments, equipment, transportation, festival registration fees, and other expenses. We ask all music parents to make a donation to support the program. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Donate online at Torrey Pines High School Foundation.
You can also donate by check payable to TPHSF (TPHS Foundation), and write Music Donation in the memo line. Place checks in the Music Boosters box in the Administration Building.
All donations are tax deductible. You will receive a receipt from the TPHS Foundation for your tax records.
Our goal is 100% participation. Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated!
Don't forget to apply for employer matching as well. Use this link to see if your company will match your gift.
