It's time for us all to practice - and to support UMFA's scholarship fund!

The Upper Midwest Flute Association (UMFA) is hosting a 30 day practice-a-thon from April 20 to May 19 to support its Flute Student Scholarship Program—a program dedicated to removing financial barriers so flutists of all ages and levels can access high-quality music education. To celebrate the scholarship program's 10 successful years so far, we plan to raise at least $5,000 to increase its impact and reach. Every dollar raised helps provide opportunities such as private lessons, master classes, summer music camps, and flute pedagogy training for students who show commitment and financial need.

Flutists of every age and level can take part in this 30-day practice challenge! Dedicate yourself to daily practice (at least 15 minutes a day) while friends, family, and supporters cheer you on by making pledges—either per day of practice or as a one-time gift.

How to sign up or donate:

• Our campaign page on RallyUp.com will be live within a few days.  Participants will create profile pages so that family/friends can donate in their name on RallyUp.  Top fundraisers and 30-day-challenge completers will receive prizes!
• You can also donate on the UMFA website (and you can name an individual practice-a-thon participant in comments section)
