Ride for Music

Raising Awareness on the Importance of Music

THE PICK ME UP FOUNDATION was set up to help bring the joy of music to children who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to play an instrument, take music lessons, or learn how to record music

Children Who Are Involved in Music

Are more likely to excel in school, work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, stay in school, and pursue further education.
Reported the lowest lifetime and current use of all substances (tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs).

The Pick Me Up Foundation was set up in memory of Aaron Reed, a great musician/song writer; lover of music and someone who loved to share the gift of music with his friends and family. Consider helping us by:
