Musack’s Cause
The first Musack kids at Nantucket High School
Q: What do you do when a rash of teen suicides infects your old high school in Nantucket?
A: Start a charity that supports music programs there because music is what got you through high school.
Q: What do you do when that charity starts to work and needs money to operate?
A: Throw an annual Rock n’ Roll carnival in your backyard with great music, comedy, and art and then invite everyone you know to come and hang and donate money.
Q: What do you do when the kids you’re supporting graduate from high school and your programs are successful?
A: Set up college scholarships and expand as fast as you can.Start spreading the music from coast to coast and set up Musack programs wherever kids need them. So far that includes El Salvador, Massachusetts, Los Angeles, Compton, Appalachia, Haiti, Alaska, Australia, Tampa, Oakland, Chattanooga, and Native American reservations across the Southwest US.
