Community Corner

Walk for Music

Join over 300 ZUMIX students, parents, teachers, and community members for the Walk for Music, a two-mile walk through Boston's Back Bay Fens, to keep music alive in our community! ZUMIX is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth and building community through music and the arts and your participation in the fun, music-filled event allows ZUMIX to serve more than 1,000 amazing young people each year!

We hope that you will walk with us, sponsor a youth, or organize a team to help reach our goal of $40,000 – SIGN UP HERE: http://www.firstgiving.com/zumix/walkformusic

Participants who raise $25 or more will receive a FREE t-shirt! We encourage you to set a goal of $100 or more (youth) or $200 or more (adults).

Community members are encouraged to join a neighborhood-based team, such as the Jeffries Point Team, Orient Height Team, Eagle Hill Team. Or create your own team and invite all your friends and neighbors! The winning team will get a celebration party at ZUMIX!

NEW THIS YEAR: Participants and sponsors are invited to a celebration concert at the Hard Rock Cafe after the walk!

ZUMIX youth and staff will fill the air with drums, horns, and more! Make the walk even more musical by bringing an instrument of your own!

On Sunday, April 27th at 11am, we'll gather at the ZUMIX Firehouse at 260 Sumner Street in East Boston for a pep rally! Then we'll travel together by subway for the main event! If you can't make to it to morning pep rally in East Boston, you can still meet us at 1pm at the start, at the basketball courts in the Back Bay Fens, opposite the intersection of Park Drive and Jersey Street.
