Music Box Foundation

Join us for the Southside Memorial Day Parade, in partnership with 17th Ward Alderman David Moore.

On Saturday, we are deeply honored to share that Touchgift Foundation will be recognizing and honoring our late Executive Director, Kijuana Lloyd Carter for her lasting impact and dedication to arts education. This event celebrates women who pour into everyone else every single day without being asked. They deserve to be honored loudly, intentionally, and with excellence!

We are also proud to share that Alhena, a youth band supported through Music Box Foundation, will be performing live during the celebration.

Hope to see you there!
