Meet the Challenge Capital Campaign

VanderCook College of Music is currently engaged in a capital campaign to Meet the Challenge. Keith Mardak, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Hal Leonard LLC of Milwaukee, WI, has presented VanderCook with the largest donor gift in its history. The $2.5M challenge gift requires the college to raise an equal amount from other donors, with all funds designated to help VanderCook complete renovation of its performance center.
