The Californer/10354926

TEMECULA, Calif. - Californer -- The Joanna Pearl Foundation, a newly established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by singer-songwriter Joanna Pearl, announces the transition of Make Music Temecula into a broader organization designed to expand the role music can play in education, community connection and service throughout Southern California.

Make Music Temecula was created to bring people together through music and became known locally for community performances, Make Music Day Temecula, instrument distribution and partnerships with organizations serving children, families and individuals with special needs. The work also included educational music experiences and collaborations with local nonprofits and community groups.

The Joanna Pearl Foundation will carry that history forward while allowing the organization to grow beyond the scope of a single annual music celebration. The Foundation's broader mission is to use music as a tool to connect people, create opportunities, support community organizations and make meaningful musical experiences more accessible.

"Make Music Temecula showed us what can happen when music is brought directly into the community," said Joanna Pearl, founder and CEO of The Joanna Pearl Foundation. "The Foundation gives us the opportunity to build on that work, create new partnerships and develop programs that can have an even greater impact."

The Foundation is led by founder and CEO Joanna Pearl, alongside CFO/Treasurer Josh Briwder, a Marine Corps veteran and business owner with experience in operations, security and organizational leadership. The Foundation's board is currently expanding as the organization grows.

Pearl's community work has included collaborations and performances benefiting organizations and causes throughout Southern California and beyond, as well as music education and instrument-giveaway initiatives. The Foundation is currently pursuing grant and fundraising opportunities and building partnerships that will help shape its future programming.

Future programs will be announced as they are funded, developed and formally approved.
