Melody Miles Fundraiser

Calling all musicians!

25th Annual Melody Miles Fundraiser May 26 - 31, 2021


We are excited about the Hamilton-Wenham Friends of the Arts (FOTA) 25th Annual Melody Miles fun run/walk! This year our race is virtual, allowing you six days in May to run, walk, or dance your way through any 5k or 5mi route in your neighborhood (or on your treadmill). 


Let’s make some music!

We have always been about fun, family, and music, and hope this year will still be the same. We will be releasing a YouTube playlist of local singers and musicians for runners/walkers to enjoy during their run. 


Details:

  • 1-3 minutes of music/song appropriate for listeners of all age

  • Video format, horizontal orientation is best for playback on YouTube

  • Send submissions to info@hwfota.org

  • Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee all pieces will make the final playlist


We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Thank you!


P.S. Cutler School team is currently #2 in the participation rankings... think we can pull ahead?
