The American University Musical Instrument Sale

* You should consult with your own tax adviser to the individual deductibility of any contribution. Do you have a musical instrument that you are no longer using or know a musician in need that could benefit from one? Please contact the event staff and the Rockley Family Foundation can help put the two together.

This arrangement is provided through an initiative with the Rockley Family Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting music education. From March 12–14, 2026, these instruments and others will be available for sale to perpetuate this valuable program and provide financial support for the performing arts at American University.
