Thank You for the Music Society was deeply honoured to be chosen as the memorial fund non-profit for Kurt W. Turner, a musician who grew up in Surrey. Kurt played several instruments, including trombone, trumpet, acoustic and electric guitar, and harmonica, and he was the lead singer with various bands over the years. In his memory, Kurt’s family and friends generously donated $1,000, which we directed to Surrey School District, where Kurt’s musical journey started.
These donations purchased band instruments for Kennedy Trail Elementary School, as well as an award for the Surrey School District Jazz Festival to support a student’s further musical education.
We were fortunate to meet with Kurt’s loving family, who traveled from out of town to share some fond memories and present a cheque at Kennedy Trail Elementary. Thank you for allowing us to honor Kurt’s love for music, for others to benefit now and in the future.
