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. Since its founding in 2011 as a much-needed bridge between the Fairfield County arts sector and under-resourced communities, INTEMPO has reached thousands of young people and community members from all walks of life, through afterschool, summer, and partnership programs as well as concerts and outreach events. Visit their website at https://intempo.org/home/. We hope you will join us by registering, making an additional donation if you can, and spreading the word among your family and friends.Pick your distance
