Anthony Ellis Special Events Grant
Born in Shinnston West Virginia in 1937, his love of music led him to learn to play the clarinet with lessens from his uncle and he soon joined the School Boy Patrol Band at age 10. Anthony went on to learn how to play the tenor saxophone and joined a dance band soon after. He went on to obtain his bachelor of science degree in biology from Wheeling College and went to work teaching in Clarksburg West Virginia where he also coached. He continued to play the saxophone making extra money playing jobs up and down the Ohio river. He never lost his love for music and wanted to share that with as many children as he could. This fund was set up by his family and students can apply for one-time grant to attend a music educational enrichment opportunity.
