We need an illustrator!

Erin Fletcher has written a children's book for the Josiah Fletcher Foundation.

Everything is ready, we just need you!

Please contact us if you are willing to illustrate this children's book.

All proceeds from the book will go to the Josiah Fletcher Foundation to help students in the SEK area.

Thank you for your support and for sharing this message!

“The days of our childhood are over now, now dawns the beginning of a new era. Hopefully adulthood won’t be too harsh, we are all going to have hard times in the near future. That’s why we need to stick together, when someone is hanging by their fingertips we help them up because we know they will do the same for us. We have to be the example, we have to show people we aren’t children anymore, that we are young adults. We are the new generation, we will carry the flag until we die and pass it onto our children, look to the future!”

It's Giving Tuesday.
Why not give to local students learning about instrumental music?
Seriously, why not?
It's easy.
Here's how

JFF creates opportunities for Southeast Kansas students that increase their confidence and inspire them to pursue their passions within music. Your donation helps support opportunities for these students to grow as individuals and to continue Josiah's legacy.

What a true honor to receive funding from the Pritchett Trust.

We will use these funds to strengthen the Josiah Fletcher Jazz Camp and provide signage, backdrops, and band stands for our local student musicians.

Thank you for supporting our local kids and thank you for making the music happen!
