With the news of our ED, and his daughter, being guests on the Kelly Clarkson show we decided to launch a gofundme to help us raise the funds to help us open the Off Beat. We're also a finalist in the Willamette Week Best of Portland poll! We are working to create a safer alcohol free space where the youth of our community learn job skills and life skills while having fun and we need your help. Please hit the links in our profile and make a donation to our building fund and vote for us as the best music school in Portland! Thanks for your help!
