JAZZ.FM91 Launches 13th Annual Holiday Heroes Instrument Drive Give the Gift of Music This Holiday Season

JAZZ.FM91 is proud to announce the launch of its 13th annual Holiday Heroes Instrument Drive, an award-winning community initiative that brings the joy of music to those who need it most. This year’s campaign runs now through Thursday, December 18, 2025, and invites the public to donate gently used musical instruments to support music education in local schools.

In partnership with Long & McQuade Musical Instruments, the Toronto District School Board’s Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement, and Firemen Movers, JAZZ.FM91 is working to ensure that every donated instrument finds a new home where it can inspire the next generation of musicians.

“This year, we’re thrilled to collaborate with the TDSB’s Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement to ensure that donated instruments are placed directly into schools where they’re most needed,” said JAZZ.FM91. “Your gift will have a real and immediate impact on students, classrooms and communities.”
