Debut Atlantic is proud to launch Music Moves Us, our fundraising campaign in partnership with the Valley Harvest Marathon.

This fall, we’re inviting our community to run, walk, donate, and rally behind a shared goal: ensuring students across Atlantic Canada continue to experience the inspiration and joy of live music.

For many young people, a visit from a Debut Atlantic artist is their first—and sometimes only—opportunity to experience a live professional performance. Funds raised through Music Moves Us will help sustain Debut Goes to School, our flagship school touring program, following the loss of provincial Artist in Schools funding.

 

How You Can Help

• Run or walk in any Valley Harvest Marathon event, either in person or virtually.
• Make a donation to support Debut Atlantic or sponsor a participant.
• Share the campaign with your friends, family, colleagues, and community.

 

For more than 40 years, Debut Atlantic has connected communities through live music, reaching over 10,000 students every year. Our goal is to raise $35,000 to help bridge the funding gap and ensure professional musicians can continue bringing unforgettable live performances into schools across Atlantic Canada.

 

Every Step Makes a Difference

 

Whether you run a marathon, walk a 5K, make a donation, or simply spread the word, you’re helping create meaningful musical experiences for thousands of young people.

Join the Music Moves Us campaign today and help keep live music in schools. Together, we can ensure the next generation continues to discover the power of music—one step, one performance, and one student at a time.
