This year’s Annual MBF Gala was awesome—thanks to you!
This year was the third annual Matt Buth Foundation Dinner & Silent Auction held at Venue 142 in DeLand. With a sold-out event and amazing sponsors like MBI, SAAFE Behavioral, Wilson & Co. General Contractors, and SMA Healthcare, we raised over $20,000! All proceeds will be going to fund five local scholarships, a mental health grant, and to help fund DeLand High Band and Chorus fees. Thank you to everyone who came out to support this worthwhile cause, and we will see you all next year!
The Matt Buth Foundation
The Foundation was established to continue Matt’s love of music, and his caring spirit. We promise to make sure future Band students at DHS know how he always lent a helping hand, always had a smile, how he played every instrument he laid his hands on, and that he believed the world was made better with music.
