In 2 days, Sunday May 18th, there will be a fundraiser for the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association's School Tour program.This is the 4th annual event to raise $ for this valuable outreach program. This program brings VYOA orchestras, smaller groups and choral groups to schools around the state to excite kids about music, learning an instrument and performing music with their peers. For some, it may be an opportunity to experience something they never get the chance to. For others, it could spark an interest that lasts a lifetime. Taking 5 groups to 2 schools each costs a significant amount of $ and this fundraiser helps offset those costs.
The event is a 5K fun walk/run, starting in front of the Elly-Long Music Center at 223 Ethan Allen Avenue in Fort Ethan Allen in Colchester.
More than $750 in prizes will be given away at the end of the event, donated by area businesses who believe in this cause.
Fleet Feet Sports in Essex Junction has provided $10 coupons to all participants to partially or fully offset the cost of admission.
Adults: $15 Youth -Age 17: $10 Maximum per family: $40
$30 VYOA student With up to 3 non VYOA students (ie Bring some friends ! )
All $ goes directly to the VYOA to support this program and is tax deductible.
