Join the 20K Walk in Support of Music Scholarships at SPC
Saturday, September 6, 2025 | Pinellas Trail | Walk or Run: Every step you take helps a student hit their next note.
Join the St. Petersburg College community for our inaugural 20K Walk for Music Scholarships - an exciting, grassroots fundraiser led by Tara Jennings supporting the next generation of musical talent in honor of Matt LaPorte through the Matt LaPorte Music Scholarship. Whether you're a casual walker or a determined runner, your participation helps ensure aspiring musicians at SPC can pursue their dreams without financial barriers.
Hereβs how you can make an impact:
π΅ Register to Walk or Run β Commit to completing up to 20K (12.4 miles) on the scenic Pinellas Trail on Saturday, September 6. You can go the full distance or set your own goal - every mile counts.
π΅ Find a Sponsor or Two (or Ten!) - Ask your friends, family, or colleagues to sponsor your walk. Each pledge goes directly to support the music scholarship.
π΅ Support the Future of Music β These scholarships provide critical financial support to talented students who are pursuing degrees in music performance, education and production. Your involvement helps students afford instruments, tuition, and access to world-class instruction.
Why Music Matters at SPC
Music education builds confidence, creativity, discipline and a sense of community. At SPC, our music students go on to enrich our region and beyond - as performers, educators, and cultural leaders. Your support ensures that no talented student is forced to silence their dreams due to financial strain.
