Support Annual Replacement of Beloved Sproul Piano!

The Sproul Piano


Old and New Sproul Piano


In the heart of Berkeley, amid the bustling energy of student life, stood a humble yet profound symbol of unity - the Sproul piano. Despite weathering storms since its inception in 2017, its melodies echo the harmony between students and the wider Berkeley community. This is a place where anyone can come to play a song and find solace or joy in music and a spot where others gather to listen or curiously walk by. Even in the middle of the busiest part of campus, the piano and its music have the ability to tune out the noise and inspire.



Fast Forward to last summer, only two months after the end of the spring semester, the piano was destroyed for the fifth time, disrupting the music that bound us together. It was a solemn realization that to maintain harmony and unity on our campus, we must stand prepared to replace what is broken. The Sproul piano isn't just an instrument; it's a testament to our collective resilience and our unwavering dedication to harmony in the heart of Berkeley.


This 2023 Fall semester, BIA at Berkeley brought forth a new Sproul Piano. Hope soared once more, only to be dimmed too soon. Each year that the piano succumbs to harm, we pledge to install a new one, ensuring that the melodies of togetherness never fall silent. Let this commitment echo across our community, not just as a resolve to replace keys and strings but as a testament to our shared belief in the power of music to unite souls and transcend barriers.

About Us

Officer Group Photo (Fall 2023)

BIA at Berkeley is a club that aims to create benefits for all students at UCB. Since its establishment in Spring 2023, we have organized various free recreational events and offered local discounts to our members. As a non-profit organization, we rely heavily on donations from individuals and businesses to fund our initiatives and make a positive impact on the student community.


Budget Breakdown

All of our budget raised from this platform would be used for piano replacement for our community!

In case if we don’t meet the $500 budget, we would still use 100% of the funds collected on the renewal. We would reallocate part of our funds for other projects to prioritize the renewal of the piano. We will make sure the piano gets replaced every year!
