Asbury Park Music Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides music education to under-resourced students, helps the local music scene thrive and unites diverse communities through music. Through the power of music, we are changing lives together. For 10 consecutive years, donations from the Spring Lake 5 running community have enabled Asbury Park Music Foundation to offer incredible music scholarships for its “Music Saved My Life” program at Lakehouse Music Academy in Asbury Park. These scholarships open doors for under-resourced youth and teens who are growing up in poverty in Asbury Park, by providing an outstanding music education at no cost to their families. “Music Saved My Life” deeply affects young lives. Students learn to express themselves through music and develop the skills necessary to get into college or pursue a career in music. The program helps to improve grades, self-esteem and social skills among young people with limited means but unlimited potential.
