We are proud to announce that we have chosen INTEMPO as the beneficiary for the 2026 Miles for a Mission Run/Walk. Our goal is to raise funds and awareness for the work of this important organization.
INTEMPO's mission is to enable young people, regardless of their life circumstances, to thrive through instruction in classical and multi-cultural music, the building of life skills, and the fostering of community. The organization’s music education programs develop young people’s artistry, cultivate pride in heritage, and promote positive socioemotional growth, ensuring that young people gain the skills and knowledge they need to realize their potential.
