The Easton Area High School Instrumental Music Association (IMA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that supports the students in the instrumental music program at Easton Area High School. The IMA consists of parents and guardians of students within our music program. It is a volunteer-run organization that supports both the financial and volunteer needs of the band and orchestra. 

Corporate sponsorship of the IMA is integral to the financial well-being of our operating budget supporting the many opportunities afforded our students. The IMA supports over $80,000 in annual expenses, including annual scholarships, marching band operating expenses, uniform care, new instrument/ equipment purchases, maintenance costs, travel opportunities, and more. 

As a corporate sponsor of the IMA, there are many benefits your organization would receive, in addition to supporting our students. We hope you consider supporting our wonderful music program. Our students work incredibly hard each year and we hope to be able to continue to support their needs through generous donations such as yours.
