Glee Give a Note Campaign
The National Association for Music Education (NAfME), in coordination with its new Give a Note Foundation, partnered with Twentieth Century FOX Home Entertainment (TCFHE) to create the Glee Give a Note campaign. The campaign was created to bring attention to the importance of music education in schools and also to help provide funding to school music programs in need. The $1 million was funded through sales of the Glee DVDs $1 of each DVD sold went toward the $1,000,000. The Glee Give a Note contest began on September 6, 2011, inviting eligible schools to submit videos about why their school was in need of a music education grant at www.GleeGiveANote.com. After a public voting period, videos were evaluated by teams of NAfME music educators. Criteria included relevance to music education, emotional and inspirational appeal, demonstrated financial need, and public voting.
492 Schools across America submitted videos. Videos of winning schools can be seen at www.gleegiveanote.com.
Over 2 Million votes were cast for videos
