I came across the piano donation/sale program where 100% of the funds benefit Opera SLO, and think that is such a smart fundraiser to support the opera. For anyone looking to donate or purchase a piano, I recommend checking out Opera SLO first (I believe available pianos are updated regularly on Facebook marketplace). Huge thank you to Brian with Opera SLO for all the information and help during my piano purchase!
