Help Sarah raise money

For participating in Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Virtual Race 2020

My Story…

I'm running for Sistema Toronto! We're trying to raise $10,000 for our program, so please support our team and in turn make a difference for children and families living in vulnerable communities across Toronto. Sistema Toronto is first and foremost a social development program, using ensemble-based music education to transform the lives of children. Sistema Toronto students work together for 10 hours of weekly instruction. They learn strings (violin, viola, cello, or double bass), percussion, choir and Music & Movement while developing important life skills like problem solving, empathy, and self-advocacy. We build stronger communities by enabling children from marginalized neighbourhoods to overcome poverty, grow, and thrive as engaged citizens and future leaders. Our Vision - Through the global language of music children grow to realize their full potential as engaged and responsible citizens.
