Vermont Youth Orchestra Association 5k Fun Run/Walk October 4th
Colchester, VT – The Jake Kahn 5k Fun Run/Walk is on Sunday Oct 4th at
10:00am to benefit the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association's School Tour
program. This is the 5th annual event to raise money for this valuable
outreach program which brings VYOA orchestras and choruses to schools around
the state. These annual school tours are a great opportunity for VYOA
musicians to share their artistry with school children in our region and to
get school children excited about music, learning an instrument, and
performing music with their peers. Each year the VYOA’s three orchestras
and two choruses perform eight school concerts for nearly 2,500 school
children. This fundraiser helps offset the travel costs of bringing our
students to schools across the state.
This annual 5k Fun Run/Walk was organized by VYO trumpeter Jake Kahn in 2011
who is now a senior at CVU. It starts at the Elley-Long Music Center, home of
the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association, located at 223 Ethan Allen Avenue in
Fort Ethan Allen in Colchester.
Area businesses in support of the VYOA and Jake Kahn have donated some
fantastic prizes. 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.
Registration fees go directly to the VYOA to support this program and are tax
deductible.
