Congratulations! You have been selected as one of the few to view my amazingly special Playathon fundraising page! To celebrate this occasion I reccomend emptying your pockets so I can have one final brag about how amazing I am at fundraising! Since it's my senior year, think of your donation as being for the years to come as well as this year! I'm sure it will give you a warm, fuzzy, feeling to know that I'm beating everyone when it comes to fundraising. Also I heard that this year there are prizes, so even more incentive. I do love me a good prize. Thank you for all of your support over the years, it means a lot!

🎶 SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF MUSIC 🎶

Playathon is ESYO’s most important friend-raiser and fundraiser of the year! This fun-filled day of music raises money for ESYO while showcasing the breadth & depth of our program! This free, family event takes place on Saturday, March 23rd from 10:30am through 5:15pm at Crossgates Mall and showcases hundreds of young musicians. It's the only day of the year where all ESYO ensembles (including CHIME) perform—from the deep rumble of the percussion ensembles to the uplifting trills of the wind orchestra. The day also includes live auctions, including a chance to lead one of the ensembles!

The marathon display of musical talent is more than simply a community concert, it helps ESYO ensure no qualified musician is ever turned away from the ESYO Experience because of an inability to pay. Your support is needed now more than ever. The money raised will fund a substantial portion of ESYO’s operating expenses and musician scholarships.

Our Playathon fundraising goal for 2024 is $120,000. To reach our goal, we have challenged each ensemble, our board of directors, and our staff with their own fundraising goal. Help them get there by giving generously today!
