This partnership is a continuation of the work that Propeller, The Black Keys and Save The Music started last year, when, in conjunction with other local and national partners,  Save The Music invested in music education programs in seven North Mississippi and Delta schools. Additionally, The Black Keys helped raise more than $40K for one of the schools in Holly Springs. Each school received full packages of instruments and equipment for their music classrooms along with programmatic support for music teachersincluding professional development, impact measurement and evaluation services from Save The Music’s program team for a ten-year period. This coming fall, the program is expanding to fourteen more schools across Mississippi.

Propeller is a digital marketing platform that works with A-list talent and major events and venues to create impactful change through social activism and charitable efforts. Propeller partners with artists like Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, The National and Bon Iver, festivals like Bonnaroo and Outside Lands and venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre to offer unique fan experiences as rewards for taking actions that encourage community building, volunteering and registering voters. These actions in turn support diverse non-profits like Planned Parenthood, HRC, The Trevor Project, and many more. The more actions a user takes, the more likely their chances are of winning an experience with one of Propeller’s high-profile partners, while simultaneously making a positive impact on the world.
