We would just like to remind everyone that the ‘OGV Music Awards’ is a completely non-profit event. Instead we aim to raise money for charitable causes. This years charity partner is ‘Be Instrumental!’, our very own instrument drive aiming to gift instruments, and to provide free music learning resources to children from low-income families.
Every child deserves the chance to learn to play music.
Please be instrumental in a child’s life! Please help us to give the gift of music.
We urge you to make a small donation and help generate even more positivity through our annual awards! We are also donating 100% of the profits raised from our merchandise store throughout December to ‘Be Instrumental!’, so please treat yourself, or a loved one to some of our merch this month, and rest in the knowledge that your purchased merchandise has helped make a huge contribution towards a kids musical life.
