Year-End Charitable Giving
Give the gift of music this holiday season. When deciding year-end giving, please consider a donation to the BMMA. Since 1970, the BMMA has supported the Music Program at Blackstone Millville Regional Schools. 100% of your donations go directly towards expenses related to competitive after-school activities including large instrument purchases, financial assistance for students in need, and supporting production costs.
If you are planning on making a donation, please also check to see if your employer offers a matching gift program that could double your contribution.
To make a donation, please visit our donation page to find the various ways you can give:
Thank you so much for your generosity and support!
The BMMA is a registered 501(c)(3) charity and all donations are tax deductible.

Holiday Shopping With Amazon Smile
Good Afternoon!
We wanted to remind everyone that the Blackstone-Millville Music Association (BMMA) is a registered charitable organization with Amazon Smile. Amazon Smile is a super easy way to support the band program by simply making the same Amazon purchases that you normally would. You buy and Amazon sends us a donation.
You can always shop with Amazon Smile by visiting smile.amazon.com any time you need to make a Amazon purchase. It’s the same site as the main Amazon site. It just means that when you purchase, a percentage of the purchase amount goes to the BMMA to support the band program.
In addition, Amazon Smile is now fully supported on the Amazon Shopping app on iPhone and Android.
Setting it up is easy! Just visit this site for directions: https://smile.amazon.com/b/ref=sma_se_smaf_llm_lm?_encoding=UTF8&node=15576745011
Thank you for considering Amazon Smile as a way to help the BMMA support the band program this holiday season!

Happy Sunday Afternoon —

Restaurant Night at Uno’s in Bellingham, MA on December 13th
It’s hard to believe that we’re already in December! Marching band season ended just a few weeks ago and over the next few weeks Winter Percussion, Jazz band, and Holiday concerts will happen. Music is an integral part of the schools and community. The BMMA has been looking for ways to raise funds to help support the music program in our schools.
We are very excited to launch our first in a series of local restaurant fundraisers. We will be doing a monthly day in partnership with and in support of some of our local restaurants. Our first restaurant fundraiser will be at Uno’s in Bellingham, MA on December 13th. Please print out and bring the flyer below. Good for dine-in OR take out.
We hope to have one special partner each month that will share a percentage of their proceeds with the BMMA when you and your families dine in or take out.
We look forward to seeing you at Uno’s on the 13th. Thank you!
