10 years ago today, the world lost someone whose impact went far beyond the music.

As the world honors Prince and the legacy he left behind, we felt it was only fitting to make this announcement today.

Prince generously, often anonymously, invested in the next generation, creating opportunities for young people to thrive. It’s a mission we share at Crescendo Detroit.

We’re excited to partner with Morris Hayes, Prince’s Music Director and longest-serving band member, who will be working with our students this summer and bringing something special to Detroit.

DETROIT TURNS PURPLE.

Thank you, Detroit.
Because of your generosity — and the matching gifts from the Cranford Millinery Collection and Keila Bragg— our kids felt the love today.
You lifted them up. You held them close. And you helped create more possibilities for every child who walks through our doors.
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL!

Last chance before midnight!

There’s still time to lift up a Detroit child today.
Your Giving Tuesday gift does two powerful things at Crescendo Detroit:
It lifts them up with possibilities, confidence, and new skills.
And it holds them close by nurturing the whole child.

And thanks to the Cranford Millinery Collection, and Keila Bragg your gift is doubled — BUT ONLY UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

If you’ve been meaning to give, now is the moment.
Let’s finish strong for Detroit’s kids.

Let’s LIFT THEM UP and HOLD THEM CLOSE
From music, dance, and vocal training,
to social-emotional learning,
to caring mentors and nourishing meals — your generosity fuels every moment.

And today only, thanks to a Giving Tuesday match from the Cranford Millinery Collection and Keila Bragg
your gift is doubled — up to $2,500.
Twice the impact.
Twice the support.
Please consider supporting our organization today.
