The Whitney Circle

​​$2,000 +

​​When Chuck Whitney formed the precursor to Olympic Strings Workshop with Monique Mead and Dr. James Ray in 2018, we knew him already as an integral member of the music community in Port Angeles and even further afield. As OSW evolved, became a nonprofit, and moved to the NatureBridge campus, Chuck was secretary, treasurer, cheerleader, ideas man, nonprofit manager, and mover/shaker of everything from pianos to teenagers. He dedicated himself, his time, and his care to serving his community, in big ways but also in a myriad of small ways that we only understand in his absence.​​
