About the Rockley Family Foundation

The Rockley Family Foundation is a non-profit organization, founded by Tobin and Liane Rockley. The foundation’s purpose is to bring music education to schools and students in need. To accomplish our goals, we raise money for music scholarships, we donate musical instruments to the under privileged and donate the use of musical instruments to the educational community.

Acknowledgements

Your support enhances our ability to educate the next generation of artists, teachers, and scholars. For many of our students, completing their degrees and preparing to contribute to the arts community would not be possible without your help.

On behalf of the Board of Education, the staff and the students of the Thompson School District, I would like to thank you for the gifts given to the school district. Thank you for supporting public education in our community.

Your gift to support the University of Colorado is an investment in hope: the hope that CU’s education, research, outreach, and healthcare will foster positive change for citizens and communities near and far.
