For Immediate Release
The Jeunesses Musicales Canada Foundation Surpasses Its Initial Annual Campaign Goal and Doubles Its Ambition to Support Classical Music!
Montreal, Wednesday, November 20, 2024 – The Jeunesses Musicales Canada Foundation (FJMC) is proud to announce that its initial 2024-2025 annual campaign goal of $25,000 through 250 acts of generosity has been reached in just five weeks—an achievement typically accomplished over five months. However, while the financial target has been surpassed, the Foundation has recorded 150 acts of generosity so far and aims to encourage more donations to reach the goal of 250 supportive gestures.
In response to this extraordinary momentum, the board of directors has decided to double the campaign’s target to $50,000. This remarkable success stems from a collective and innovative effort driven by the peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. Each board member, artist, and engaged individual played a crucial role by mobilizing their own networks to inspire new donors to support the mission.
The FJMC’s annual campaign directly supports Jeunesses Musicales Canada’s educational programs, promising young musicians with the means to develop their talents. It also makes concerts, workshops, and musical activities accessible to communities nationwide while ensuring the longevity of Jeunesses Musicales Canada for future generations.
“We are amazed by the generosity and commitment of our community, which highlights the importance and impact of our mission,” said Véronique Desjardins, Executive Director of the Jeunesses Musicales Canada Foundation. “Together, we have already accomplished great things, and we are confident that, with this momentum, we can not only double our financial goal but also strengthen the culture of philanthropy surrounding classical music.”
The Foundation invites everyone who believes in the importance of classical music in education and young people’s lives to participate in this campaign. Whether by sharing their own fundraising page or making a donation, every gesture counts.
