TheBradSchoenerFund, sponsored by the Upper Darby Arts and Education Foundation, is seeking dynamic individuals to join our highly dedicated team. We aim to promote the legacy of Brad Schoener, a music educator in the Upper Darby School District, who battled a deadly cancer and inspired thousands of students to overcome obstacles to fulfill their dreams. Brad’s vision was to give every child in the Upper Darby School District the opportunity to play a musical instrument and to support talented young musicians by funding private instruction with professional musicians. He also recognized the importance of physical fitness against all odds, and ran triathlons while battling his illness. Over the past three years, we have united our community around two common beliefs: 1) music improves the quality and effectiveness of education, and 2) when adults and music are actively present in the lives of children, anything is possible.
