Holiday shoppers at the Mall at Wellington were treated to the Palm Beach County Music Teachers Association’s annual music-thon on Saturday, Dec. 12 at the entrance to Macy’s.
More than 100 students from 12 piano studios and the Bak Middle School of the Arts performed everything from “Jingle Bells” to Prokofiev. The young performers, who ranged in age from 4 to 16, are students of members who belong to Palm Beach County Music Teachers Association. This is the 26th year for this event, but the first time that it was held at the Mall at Wellington Green.
The music-thon benefited Family Promise of North/Central Palm Beach County, a nonprofit organization that helps homeless families achieve sustainable independence.
“Almost $6,000 was raised this year to help the homeless families in our community, and we were so happy to partner with such a wonderful organization,” said Jan Fulford, president of the Palm Beach County Music Teachers Association and music-thon chair.
