Fundraising & Support

Helping provide resources, experiences, and opportunities for Western Branch orchestra students.

Why Fundraising Matters

Supporting Our Orchestra Programs

WBOPA fundraising helps provide additional support for orchestra students, directors, performances, activities, trips, supplies, and special opportunities.

Every purchase, volunteer effort, and contribution helps strengthen the orchestra experience for students at Western Branch High School and Jolliff Middle School.

Fundraising also helps provide experiences that may not otherwise be possible. Last year, WBOPA helped fund a performance by the professional Ivalas Quartet for the Jolliff Middle School orchestra program.

Another professional quartet through the Virginia Arts Festival is scheduled to perform for Jolliff Orchestra students in November 2026.

Fundraising Goal

Support Our Student Musicians

Families can support WBOPA through direct donations and future fundraising opportunities.

Where Your Support Goes

WBOPA fundraising supports the Western Branch orchestra programs through scholarships, student participation fees, music and equipment purchases, staff development, and other orchestra activities.

Fundraising also allows orchestra directors to provide special experiences for students.

For example, WBOPA previously funded a visit by the Ivalas Quartet, a professional string quartet participating in a Virginia Arts Festival residency, to perform for the Jolliff Middle School orchestra program.

Another professional quartet through the Virginia Arts Festival is scheduled to visit Jolliff in November 2026.
