Donate to TPHS Music
Make checks payable to TPHS Foundation and write “Music Donation” in the memo line. Put donation checks in the Music Booster lock box in Mrs. Gelb's office.
Donate online at Torrey Pines High School Foundation. Under "Choose Team/Booster Club," select Music Booster. Fill in the donation amount and other information. Under Payment Options you can select to donate by credit card or by check.
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. Your support is greatly appreciated.
All donations are tax deductible.
