Music Avenue, Inc. https://www.musicavenue.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide families in Dane County, Wisconsin with equitable access to early childhood music learning experiences. Our vision is to eliminate barriers that prevent families from accessing early childhood music education by providing free music learning experiences to families in Dane County.

Zemi’s Run: Miles for Melodies is the inaugural family run/walk fundraiser. It’s named so in remembrance of the founders’ late infant daughter, Zemirah Sung, whose name means “joyous melody.”

In keeping with the “no barriers” policy of Music Avenue, the event will be free to all. Individuals and teams are encouraged to fundraise, however. The event will occur at Sheehan Park in Sun Prairie, on a stroller-friendly one-mile course on park trails. The route will be open for one hour; participants will collectively pool miles walked/run to earn a $1 per mile “Miles Match” from generous sponsors including Fleet Feet.

Various child-friendly free activities and goodies will be available, including face painting, live music, books generously donated by The Book Deal, free ice cream tokens from Culver's, etc. While this is the inaugural event, the response thus far has been overwhelmingly positive, and we hope to make it a yearly event!
