SUMMARY:You're invited to join or support our annual Choose Joy Walkathon on April 29th 
DESCRIPTION:We’re going to be walking at Mill Lake from 2-4 pm on April 29th in memory of our beloved viola teaching artist Mrs. Beth Nickel (pictured below in her home studio) to raise funds in support of our music academy again this year. We’ve booked the big picnic shelter at the Bevan Avenue entrance to Mill Lake Park. \n \nEarlier this month\, our students took home printed paper walkathon pledge forms and an envelope for collecting money and/or cheques. For many of our families\, this works best. \nSome participants prefer to manage donations online\, and you’ll find that some of our BMA students are registered as walkathon participants online here. If you click on a registered participant’s profile\, you can pledge your support and make a donation. \nEvery dollar raised will fund our program and benefit our students directly.  \nThere are a few ways you can support our Choose Joy Walkathon: \n\nMake a donation or pledge to support one of our BMA students registered on the online platform here.\nMake a general donation to the music academy on the online platform here.\nCome and join us for the walkathon! Register as a participant by either paying a flat rate of $25 or collecting pledges from family & friends. (If you aren’t able to join us in-person on April 29\, you can also walk on your own before that date and drop off your donations.)\nDonate prizes for walkathon participants. We will enter every participant’s name into a draw\, so things like gift cards or treats are welcome.\nMail a cheque and indicate that you are supporting the Choose Joy Walkathon 2023.\nShare the registration page for Choose Joy Walkathon to social media to encourage family and friends to come out and walk with us on April 29th — or to donate to support participants raising funds for our nonprofit music academy. Tax receipts will be issued for donations over $20.
