Horns For Kids, Inc. is a non-profit corporation (501c3)
based in Hamden, CT. Our principal goal is to facilitate and encourage the performance of music by children in their
school, and as a lifelong activity. Horns For Kids accepts donations of new and gently-used instruments, has them refurbished
if necessary, and awards clean, playable instruments to deserving school music programs throughout Connecticut. Instruments
are awarded several times a year. Teachers and administrators are notified when instruments are available — in
advance through the website, E-Mail News List (join the E-Mail News List on the HOME PAGE), and press releases in CT newspapers. Since 2003, H4K has awarded instruments to over 500 Connecticut schools.
