Aaron Streich Scholarship for Music Education
Hello friends...as many of you already know, we lost our dear friend and band member, Aaron Streich, last year to cancer.
Tomorrow would have been Aaron's birthday, and in honor of that, some of his friends and former high school soccer teammates have launched the Aaron Streich Scholarship for Music Education with the Bedford North Lawrence (BNL) High School Foundation.
The scholarship remembers a talented and caring man who was a major part of so many lives for so long. It honors Aaron's lifelong love of music — and coincides with celebrations around the 40th year of soccer at BNL. Aaron, from the BNL Class of 1990, was a sophomore starting center forward on the school's very first official team.
This scholarship will support BNL students seeking a career in music or simply a life enriched by music and the study of music. The foundation will award an annual gift to BNL graduates who intend to study music as a major or minor at any institute of higher education, considering financial need and supporting students interested in all kinds of music — from touring bands to opera, production to performance, and everything in between.
The initial goal is $15,000, needed to fund a $500 annual scholarship in perpetuity. Once that's reached, the goal stretches to $30,000, which could support two students, or provide a larger, more impactful gift to one each year.
Please join us in celebrating Aaron and his amazing life, and in opening up opportunities for young musicians for generations to come.
