Event: Sunday Oct 4, 2015
7 days from now, Sunday Oct 4th, there will be a fundraiser for the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association's School Tour program. This is the 5th 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 in music that lasts a lifetime. Taking 4 groups to 2 schools each year 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.
Prizes will be given away at the end of the event, donated by area businesses who believe in this cause. Notable large prizes this year include a "Flyboard Vermont" session and a Bash Badge at Smugglers' Notch.
Fleet Feet Sports in Essex Junction has provided $10 coupons to all participants to partially or fully offset the cost of registration.
Adults: $15 Youth -Age 17: $10 Maximum per family: $40
All $ goes directly to the VYOA to support this program and is tax deductible.
