NEMPAC Kicks off Annual #PLEDGEME Campaign

March 4, marked the beginning of the “Pledge Me” Campaign for North End Music & Performing Arts Center, NEMPAC’s Annual Perform-a-thon Fundraiser, with the goal of raising $20,000 in pledges, sponsorships, and raffles to benefit Music Scholarships and Educational Programs.

The Perform-a-thon, NEMPAC’s Annual Fundraising Concert, will take place on Sunday, April 7th at The Improv Asylum on Hanover Street (Boston), from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This performance marathon will feature a four-hour straight show of NEMPAC students and instructors performing on the instrument of their choice, and will spotlight performances from NEMPAC programs such as the Eliot Band Program, Eliot Ensemble, Eliot Choir, Music Theatre Troupe, and Kids Music Theatre.

From now until April 7, performing students and instructors will collect pledges for their performances at this event, banding together to support the NEMPAC Scholarship Fund and Educational Programs.

NEMPAC awards more than $7,500 each year in children’s need-based music scholarships, providing opportunities for over 20 children to participate in private lessons, after-school music classes, or to experience week-long intensive music camps during the summer.

The NEMPAC Performathon 2019 is generously supported by Matching Sponsors including Core Properties Group, Bridget D’amore Scholarship Fund, North End Athletic Association, Eamon O’Marah, and Andrea & Arthur Waldstein.

Through the generosity of these sponsors, all student pledges raised will be matched up to $8,000. In addition, the Performathon event sponsors including the Improv Asylum, Manda & Me Catering, and the North End Grille, as well as over 50+ local businesses who have contributed to the raffle.
