It's time to plan for the March, 2019 Practice-a-thon! The Long Island Cares packet is ready to download and the other statewide packets are coming soon!
During the month of March, musicians across New York State are invited to take part in a Practice-a-Thon with all proceeds going to local food banks. Last year, The Harry Chapin Practice-A-Thon raised $30,000 for food banks in New York State and this year, with more involvement all across NY, we hope to raise much more. The Practice-a-thon is a wonderful way to strengthen students’ practice habits while encouraging empathy and teaching students that their actions can make a difference.
Heartfelt thanks to all who participated in the 2019 Practice-a-thon! We are still collecting donations and are grateful to everyone who practiced, collected money and helped our neighbors in need. All contributions and the donation forms should be mailed directly to the food banks (addresses will be on each participation packet).
Thanks again and we look forward to working with all of you again this coming March!
