“From the bottom of our hearts, we are extremely grateful for your generosity.” — Fernando Penaloza, Director of Bands, Savanna High School Instrumental Music Program ❤️🎶

At this year’s annual fundraiser, we had the privilege of welcoming the talented Savanna High School Jazz Ensemble to perform at The Drake in support of music education. Watching these students share their vibrant talent, passion, and dedication in person was a beautiful reminder of exactly why we do what we do at The Drake Gives.

Music education changes young lives — building confidence, creativity, discipline, and connection far beyond the stage. We are endlessly grateful to our donors, supporters, and educators who help make these opportunities possible for the next generation of artists. 🎷✨

THANK YOU. 💛
This past Thursday at The Drake in Laguna, The Drake Gives’ Annual Fundraiser brought together an incredible community in support of the future of music education — and because of all of you, we raised $125K for young lives in need of support, opportunity, and access to the power of music.

Without your support, this impact would not be possible.
Our hearts are filled with gratitude to The Drake in Laguna for hosting such a beautiful evening and curating an unforgettable dining experience, Elite OC Productions for their incredible event support and for creating a room filled with magic, and our selfless Event Chairs — Lourdes Nark, James Cueva, Lucy Donahue, Wendy Tenenbaum, and Jerry Mandel — whose dedication helped bring this evening to life.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, UC Irvine Foundation and the Tenenbaums, to the incredible staff at The Drake, to the talented students who courageously shared their gifts and stories of how music has impacted their lives, and to Save The Music for being our steadfast partner and rock in expanding access to music education.

And finally… THANK YOU to YOU — our community of supporters, donors, partners, and believers in this mission. It truly takes a village.
WE DID IT!! 🎶✨

Stay tuned for many more moments and recaps from this unforgettable evening to come.

A glimpse into the magic from last night’s Evening Celebrating the Power of Music at The Drake for The Drake Gives’ Annual Fundraiser ✨

The room came alive with heartwarming performances from the very students whose lives are being shaped through music education—each note a reminder of why this mission matters. We were moved by powerful, deeply personal speeches from parents and partners, felt the excitement build during a spirited live auction, and celebrated together through music, dancing, and connection.

Guests were also treated to an unforgettable culinary experience, with a beautifully curated menu by Chef Paul, perfectly complemented by specialty wine pairings.

Because of this incredible community, we are beyond grateful to share that The Drake Gives reached our donation goal. Your support doesn’t just fund programs—it creates opportunity, confidence, and lasting impact.

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🤍
More moments from this unforgettable evening coming soon… stay tuned.

For Jerry Mandel, music education is about more than music—it’s about discipline, excellence, and skills that last a lifetime.

The lessons learned through music extend far beyond the stage, shaping how young people grow, think, and succeed.

That’s the lasting power of music.

Join us in celebrating the power of music to inspire resilience, connection, and possibility at The Drake Gives Annual Fundraiser at The Drake in Laguna on April 23rd. Purchase your and your guests’ tickets through the link in bio.
