BARRY MANILOW ANNOUNCES HIS MUSIC TEACHER AWARD
Louisville, KY (August 8, 2023) – Music icon Barry Manilow announced today that Doug Elmore of Floyd Central High School is the winner of his Manilow Music Project contest. Mr. Elmore will receive a $5,000 cash award and another $5,000 in “Manilow bucks” presented by Barry Manilow to purchase musical instruments for his school’s music program. Mr. Elmore will also receive VIP tickets to the concert.
The Grammy award winner previously announced a one-night-only concert set for Monday, August 21, at Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center.
The KFC Yum! Center participated in the contest by helping the Manilow Music Project secure nominations for deserving music teachers in their area for this award.
“It is wonderful to partner with our concert venues to identify schools and music teachers in their neighborhoods that deserve this small token of my gratitude, said Manilow. “Many school music programs have either been terminated, or their funds have been severely depleted. I always want to do my part through The Manilow Music Project to keep music in schools.”
The Manilow Music Project has given away over ten million dollars’ worth of funds and music instrument donations.
