Montreal, October 10, 2024 – The Jeunesses Musicales Canada Foundation (JMCF) is proud to announce the launch of its annual 2024-2025 campaign, which will take place on October 10, 2024. With a goal of $25,000, this campaign aims to support talented young musicians and bring classical music to young audiences across Canada.
An innovative peer-to-peer campaign
This year, the CMJF introduces a unique participatory approach with a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. In addition to the usual involvement of Board members, the general public is invited to create their own solicitation page to help reach the goal. Thanks to this accessible platform, everyone can actively participate in the campaign by sharing their passion for music and mobilizing their network to raise funds.
“If music has touched you, now is the time to give back by supporting the next generation of musical talent,” explains Véronique Desjardins, Executive Director of the Jeunesses Musicales Canada Foundation. “Our goal is to raise $25,000 through 250 acts of generosity, and we know that the community, together, can make a significant difference.”
