For more information about our raffles, please click here What this Event Supports: The North End Music & Performing Arts Center (NEMPAC) is a 501(c)(3) organization that was founded in 2001. It’s a community music school and a professional performing arts center with a strong focus on serving the North End, Charlestown, and surrounding neighborhoods of the City of Boston by making quality music and arts programming accessible for all. In order to ensure music is accessible to all, we founded the NEMPAC Scholarship Fund—and various other private scholarship funds including the Marshall Fund and d’Amore Fund—to award over $14,000 in need-based youth scholarships per year. These students are carefully reviewed by a committee and given awards to pursue artistic studies in private music lessons, summer programs, or an after-school program of their choosing. Perform-a-thon History at NEMPAC This initiative began in June of 2014 as our “Keys for Kids” fundraiser with the participation of 35 students performing outside of NEMPAC Prado Studios (at the Paul Revere Mall, 16R Charter St., Boston, MA) as a combined event with our Student Spring Recital. Due to the growth of our programs, the increase in student enrollment and participation, and the support and excitement from our friends and families in the North End/Waterfront, Charlestown, and surrounding communities of Boston, it became its own initiative and celebration at the start of spring! Today the Perform-a-thon has grown to involve over 120 student performers and many faculty members, and brings out hundreds of families, local neighbors, and community members for a musical, family-fun day to support #MusicForAll. Last year’s event raised over $19,500! More Info below.
