    Come “Rock ‘n’ Run” with us to raise funds for Music for the Ages AND Cardio Kidz, two local non-profit organizations in the community with aligned missions!

    Music for the Ages conducts intergenerational music events at senior living homes for seniors and young children.

    Cardio Kidz supports the physical, social, and emotional growth of children, of all abilities, in a positive community-focused athletic environment.

    Both organizations promote positivity, kindness, inclusivity and social-emotional health! Help us raise awareness and generate funds that will support both of these incredible and inspiring missions!

    How it works? Participants (Kids ages 1-6) pick a goal they are committed to raise. You can create your own message or use ours to share with grandparents, aunts/uncles, neighbors etc. Kids will receive prizes based on their fundraising level!

    Fundraising fee includes: The child's entry fee for the "Rock 'n' Run" activities, a free vanilla or chocolate soft-serve ice cream cup with sprinkles from Family Ice Cream Truck, prizes (vary based on level) and a concert by the one and only Miss Jamie on the Farm (a local music celeb with the littles)!

    Multiple kids ages 1-6 who would like to participate? Please register them individually so they each have their own fundraising goal and link and get to enjoy the program fully. Adults and older siblings watching are no charge.

    We are so excited for our very first fundraiser and can't wait to have you be a part of it!!
