E.A.R.T.H. Awareness is Entertainers Against Ruining Their Home. A group of entertainment industry professionals, dedicated to the preservation of creative outlets and natural experiences for the youth of Central Florida. E.A.R.T.H. Awareness was created to promote quality family time in a natural setting, with programs in music, art, drama, planet-protecting education, and fun.

The organization raises funds to help with their " Music in The Schools Program", a direct-to-teacher classroom supply program for art, music, and drama, programs in Central Florida schools. We make lasting memories of fun educational experiences, and teach families and children how to make a difference for the future.

EARTH has donated over ,000 in musical instruments and equipment to Brevard county schools since 2000, this fundraiser is to assist EARTH in purchasing instruments for Cape View Elementary School, in Cape Canaveral. Our goal is to purchase new instruments for this school, so the children can have hands on musical experiences in their classroom. Cape View Elementary is a title 1 school and many of the children in this school are on subsidized lunch. Cape View Elementary has minimal instruments in their music program. The music teacher receives a minimal budget per year for music instruments & supplies. Help us help this wonderful school.

E.A.R.T.H. is completely supported by contributions from the community and all contributions are tax deductible. All proceeds donated to E.A.R.T.H. are used to enhance the lives of creative young minds and for E.A.R.T.H. Awareness Youth Arts & Eco Programs. We are run by a volunteer board of directors who give countless hours to make this dream a reality.
