Fundraiser For Madison Music And Arts Tuesday

MADISON, NJ—Madison Music & Arts (MMA), a parent-volunteer group that advocates for visual and performing arts programs in Madison schools, will hold a fundraiser on Tuesday, and all you have to do to contribute is go eat at Chipotle.

"The heart of what we do is provide grants to teachers so that they can provide more for our students," said Amy Marinovic, MMA's President, "things that go above and beyond what can be supported by the school budget."

The fundraiser will benefit students in grades K-12 in Madison schools. Anyone can go to Chipotle at 6 Main St. in Madison between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. tonight and tell the cashier they are supporting MMA. Madison Music and Arts will receive 33 percent of all proceeds.

Madison Music and Arts is one of the oldest continuous booster clubs in the Madison Schools. In non-pandemic years, MMA hosts fundraisers such as "Dessert and Jazz" and "Kiss the Cast." Marinovic said most of MMA's fundraisers have been canceled, making this one even more important.

"Whether it be the experience of creating portraits for children on the other side of the world," said Marinovic, "working with an experienced clinician to improve choral craft or having access to instruments and tools to improve their performances, donations make these things possible."
