2010 CodaBows for America Community Outreach Award
Winners This year’s CodaBows for America
program received a record 17 applications from ASTA members – the
result we believe of current economic circumstances and the ongoing
challenges of maintaining strings teaching programs. In response to this
increased need, Jeff Van Fossen and CodaBow International generously
increased CodaBow’s 2009 commitment to more than
$6,000. Van Fossen also enlisted Southwest
Strings to participate in this year’s program through their
donation of nearly $1,000 of their Arco Nouveau bows. Together, these
generous donations allowed us to offer bows to a record eight
schools!
