Please Help Me Towards My Future!

I found a Bass Clarinet that will be much cheaper, about $3,000 and I just need the money before May so I can have it for the summer time.

Hello, my name is Tara. I am currently a senior at Beekmantown Central High School in northern NY, and have been fully accepted into SUNY Potsdam for the fall semester. I am also hoping to be accepted into Crane's music program, my audition is Wednesday, February 22nd. I have started this fundraiser to help purchase a Low C Professional model Bass Clarinet, specifically a Lyrique Low C Model 925.  I want this instrument because it will not only improve my technic and expand the range of skills I can acquire, but I need it for college. My plans for college include working to help pay tuition,  room and board. I will not be able to afford a  professional model Bass Clarinet in addition to college tuition. I would like this Bass Clarinet for the summer to practice on, especially if I don't make the audition the first time, for the purpose of reauditioning. I would be truly grateful for any amount donated. If you could donate even a dollar to this fund because truly it is my dream to go to college for music. All the money donated will go towards the purchase of the instrument. Any money left over will go towards my college funds, such as tuition, food, items I will need to live, etc. I have set $3,000 amount as this fundraiser goal  but even if the amount isn't reached the money given will be extremely helpful. I have spent hours of practice time working towards my future and to achieve my dreams. Being able to have this Bass Clarinet would be so helpful towards my career. I am hoping to study music education at the Crane School Of Music. Having the opportunity to this Bass Clarinet will enable me to prosper and teach music to the next generation of students to come. Thank you to anyone who donates. Some groups/things ORGANIZATIONS I have participated in, or been involved in: * 8 NYSSMA solos.

Benny Goodman, American clarinetist, was the first one who mixed white and black musician on stage; he avoided playing in places where racial segregation was imposed and, a few times, he withdrew all his personnel from hotels where employees have racial attitudes
