Michael's Ovation is a non profit organization based near Pittsburgh, PA.   Michael’s Ovation was created to honor the memory of Michael Shaffer.  Michael was a young man that loved music, reading, animals, and bike riding.  Michael's Ovation provides monthly scholarships to students at Maestro Minds School of Music.   We have also expanded to provide funding to organizations that were special to Michael. These include animal adoption centers and library donations.   In 2023, the fist Michael's Ovation scholarships were given out to graduation seniors at Belle Vernon Area High School.
