Riley Grassman (2007-2025)

This fund was set up by the Grassman family in memory of their son Riley, a vocalist and student at Kaleidoscope and a seven-year member of the school’s rock ensemble Gorilla Warfare. We lost Riley far too young in early 2025. We miss his talent, his humor and his presence in our lives and the life of Kaleidoscope.

You can make donations to the fund by either of these means, in any amount:

1. Zelle at director@issaquahlessons.com
2. Writing a check to Kaleidoscope School of Music, mailing address:  195 Front Street N., Suite G, Issaquah WA  98027

Make sure to mention Riley’s fund in the memo line.

Thank you so much for your generosity and for remembering Riley.

Donations are stored in a separate bank account earmarked for scholarships, special projects and pro-level equipment. Kaleidoscope has used donations in the past to help students continue their lessons and band involvement through difficult economic downturns for their families, or be involved in more programs at Kaleidoscope than they could otherwise afford. We have also invested in equipment, recording and video gear that are not necessary for the bands but enable them to have a higher pro-level experience than the school could otherwise afford.
