Bridge Arts & Education, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit promoting education and collaboration as a means to grow our music community, is hosting its first annual Play-a-thon fundraiser. Our goal is to help support a different organization each year. For 2020 we are committing to the Alzheimer’s Association of the Hudson Valley.
From November 16 through December 13, we are inviting students throughout the Hudson Valley to join the Play-a-thon fundraiser to support those suffering with Alzheimer’s disease. We cannot do this with you!
