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.
