A big thank you to everyone for helping us celebrate 10 years of transforming the lives of over 11,000 students across Miami Dade. Leading YMU through the past 10 years has been a dream come true and I’m so proud of our evolution over the decade.

The funds raised at this year’s event will expand our reach to over 4,000 students across Miami Dade this Fall of 2023-24.

Every child deserves mentorship and the ability to discover who they are!

Thank you to my team, the Gala Committee, Student Ambassadors, Executive Board, Community Board, all of the amazing students who crushed all night, friends, family, supporters, and everyone who came out to show love towards our mission.

I look forward to continuing our mission of erasing all barriers for any child to pick up an instrument and shine on stage.
