The Joseph Wolph Foundation
for Music Education
What music education gave you,
you can help give to others.
And all you need to do is play.
We need you and your band.
Each year, the Wolph Foundation gives thousands of dollars to Northwest Ohio schools and music educators, as well as those who will teach music one day. Our donors' contributions fund instrument replacement and repair, marching band events, and provide scholarships.
In 2026, we're expanding our fundraising efforts to include live music events. Thanks to Howard's Club H, in downtown Bowling Green, we're presenting Notes For Tomorrow on Saturday night, April 18.
Want to play?
We're building a great, memorable night that features the tremendous talent of our area, and stresses the importance of music education.
Solo performers and bands of any kind are welcome to help us. We all know The 419 boasts it all: Rock and roll, Americana, punk, jazz, blues, sacred steel, the works. Your donated performance will make a difference no matter what you play, and a diverse line-up will help pull in a bigger crowd.
Contact us right away... The first acts are already on-board and we want to make sure there is room for everyone to do at least a brief set.
All proceeds from this event benefit The Joseph Wolph Foundation for Music Education, an Ohio 501c3 non-profit organization.
