About Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
Peer-to-peer fundraising is a powerful way to harness the passion and connections of individuals and teams to support a cause they believe in. Think of this as a "fun run" for music fans and bands, but instead of running you will be jamming to great music.
By empowering your personal networks, we hope to generate significant funds and raise awareness for the Colorado Music Scene and Roots Music Project. It's a fun and rewarding way to make a difference while connecting with friends, family, and colleagues. Create your team page here.
