Toyota and VH1 Save The Music Foundation’s National Music Education Program Culminates with Grant Presentation featuring a Performance by Imagine Dragons

September 22, 2017

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Toyota, VH1 Save The Music Foundation and Life is Beautiful Music & Art Festival, joined by GRAMMY Award-winning rock band and Las Vegas natives Imagine Dragons, presented three Las Vegas area schools with a $40,000 music education grant that will provide music instruments to enhance each school’s music programs and expand student participation.

At a spirited school-wide assembly held at Ed W. Clark High School on Thursday, September 21, Tyler McBride, Engagement Marketing Manager at Toyota Motor North America, and Henry Donahue, Executive Director at VH1 Save The Music Foundation, awarded the grant to three deserving schools – Ed W. Clark High School, Dell H. Robison Middle School and Cashman Middle School. Ed W. Clark High School Principal, Jillyn Pendleton, Clark County School District Superintendent, Pat Skorkowsky, and Life is Beautiful CEO, Justin Weniger, were also in attendance and spoke to the importance of music education in Las Vegas’ public schools. Following executive remarks a group of talented orchestra and band students from Ed W. Clark High School performed an impressive rendition of Imagine Dragons’ chart-topping hit “Radioactive.” As the student performance ended the curtains were drawn and the GRAMMY Award-winning rock band surprised students with a rousing performance of some of their popular songs, including “Believer,” “It’s Time,” “Demons,” “Whatever it Takes,” and “Radioactive,” while students and teachers danced and sang along.

Imagine Dragons’ lead vocalist, Dan Reynolds, took a moment during the set to say a few inspiring words directly to the students, saying, “One thing we can focus on that’s an incredible positive thing is what you guys are doing – your voices and actions are resonating around the world – the youth are changing the world right now. Whether you know it or not you are, with your sense of acceptance, love and kindness. Thank you for making a greater, more healthy environment for people who are unique that feel on the outside. You guys are pretty incredible and keep changing the world.”

The $40,000 donation to VH1 Save The Music was divvied up to fulfill two Encore Grants which includes $15,000 each of supplemental wind and stringed instruments, and one Keys + Kids Grant which includes $10,000 worth of hybrid piano and keyboards. The grants strengthen each designated Las Vegas school’s music education programs with expanded resources to supply students with equal opportunity to learn through the arts. The assembly was in partnership with this weekend’s Life is Beautiful Music & Art Festival, a three-day event where music, art and ideas merge in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas.

The grant was achieved through an interactive festival activation and social media campaign implemented at music festivals nationwide, including Stagecoach, Country 500, Firefly Music Festival, Ruido Fest, Lollapalooza, and the upcoming Life is Beautiful and Voodoo Music + Arts Experience. The activation engages with festivalgoers and artists through an Instagram mosaic mural that promotes the #ToyotaGiving campaign in support music education. Festivalgoers and participating artists are invited to write the answer to the question “what does music mean to you?” on a dry erase board and share it on social media with the #ToyotaGiving. The pictures are added to a larger mosaic art piece at each festival. Popular artists including Tegan and Sara, Dillon Francis, The Zombies, Lil Yachty, Capital Cities and more have participated in the activation and shared what music means to them. The campaign will conclude following Voodoo Music + Arts Experience on October 27^th – 29^th.

Over the past three years, the #ToyotaGiving campaign has collectively donated $110,000 to VH1 Save The Music Foundation. Prior to Las Vegas, the grants were awarded to four schools in the New Orleans and Chicago areas providing each school with musical instruments and increasing the number of music teachers on staff to support sustainable music education programs. As a result of the Toyota grants, over 3,370 students have been able to experience the power of making music.

“At Toyota, we take our commitment to improve education very seriously. As a result, we continue to evolve our partnership with VH1 Save The Music in an effort to create awareness of and support their mission to restore music education programs in schools nationwide,” said Steve Appelbaum, national engagement marketing manager, Toyota Motor North America.

“Toyota’s continued commitment to VH1 Save The Music has helped us expand our support to deserving school districts and bring music education to students who need it most,” said Henry Donahue, executive director of VH1 Save The Music Foundation. “We can’t thank Toyota enough for their contribution to our mission of ensuring that music is a part of every child’s life.”

TMNA CEO Jim Lentz (right) receives the LEED Platinum Certification from Jonathan Kraatz (left), executive director, U.S. Green Building Council, Dallas Chapter, for green building techniques on September 21, 2017.

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Everything is bigger in Texas. Everything, that is, except Toyota’s environmental footprint.

Toyota Motor North America’s (TMNA) headquarters campus in Plano, Texas has officially achieved LEED Platinum from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Jonathan Kraatz, executive director, USGBC Texas Chapter, presented the prized Platinum plaque to Jim Lentz, TMNA president and chief executive officer, today at the new campus. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world.

“At Toyota, we have a longstanding commitment to sustainability and preserving our natural resources,” said Lentz. “With the installation of greenspaces, thousands of solar panels, a massive rain water capture system, and natural light wells, we have designed our new headquarters to reflect the local habitat and enhance its biodiversity. Recognition as a LEED Platinum facility is a testament of our efforts to become a model for energy efficiency and sustainability, and speaks to our challenge to ourselves to create a net positive impact on the planet by 2050.”

“USGBC is proud to award LEED Platinum to Toyota, for their thoughtfulness in their campus energy planning and space design as well as the overall net positive impact on the community and environment,” said Kraatz. “Our mission at USGBC has challenged organizations to move faster and reach further than ever before, and Toyota’s new Texas campus is a great example of what can be accomplished with the right leadership.”

The state-of-the-art, 100-acre campus boasts a Platinum-sized list of sustainability aspects, from renewable energy to drought resistant landscaping:

Renewable Energy

Largest onsite corporate solar installation among non-utility companies in Texas
8.79-Megawatt solar power system, designed and installed by SunPower Corp.
Produces up to 33 percent of daily electric needs for headquarters campus
Reduces annual carbon dioxide emissions by 7,198 metric tons
Creates enough energy to power 1,200 average US homes for a year
Installation of high efficiency lighting and building envelopes to reduce energy usage on campus
Specialized rooftop design teeming with plant life to manage rainwater, reduce heat and further insulate the buildings
Flexible energy contract to preserve and resell excess power generation back to the grid
Grid energy offset by Texas wind farm renewable energy credits

Repurposed Rainwater

State-of-the-art rainwater capture system will provide up to three months of water supply for irrigation use
Cistern water storage with a capacity to hold 400,000 gallons of harvested rain water
Estimated to save more than 11 million gallons of potable (drinking) water annually
Excess drain water will be collected and repurposed for sanitary facility use

Recycling

More than 99 percent of the construction waste was recycled
Construction waste was sorted offsite at North Texas’ first Construction and Demolition waste processing facility

Sustainable Landscaping

Exterior landscaping features drought-tolerant, North Texas indigenous plants like savannah, oaklands and wildflower meadows
Campus landscape will provide a natural habitat for endangered pollinators and monarch butterflies
Approximately 1,300 trees planted onsite by Toyota
More than 80 mature trees saved or relocated onsite, including a 100-year-old oak tree
Landscaping will be managed without expensive mowing, fertilizers, chemicals or artificial irrigation
Historic wetlands on the northeast corner of the campus were preserved to protect its natural state

Professionals who led this project include a host of Dallas-based firms: KDC Real Estate Development & Investments to develop and build the campus, architect Corgan Associates to design the campus, and Austin Commercial to manage the construction.

In late 2015, Toyota Motor Corporation announced the 2050 Toyota Environmental Challenge, a set of ambitious environmental goals to reach beyond net zero, and create a net positive impact on the planet.
