Singer Barry Manilow reportedly gave a piano to a school district here and urged others to donate musical instruments for schoolchildren to play.
As per reports, the 71-year-old, who will be performing at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale on March 27, will give away two concert tickets to anyone who makes a donation of a new or gently used instrument, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Manilow says music is "a vital part of a child's education".
The donation is part of Manilow Music Project to benefit music programs in public schools. Uniondale Superintendent William Lloyd appreciates what the singer did and hopes it will encourage more people to help schoolchildren "build character to achieve success."
