    About M3F:

    Rooted in a deep love of music, the arts, and the community around us, M3F Fest was founded with the purpose to give back. The idea was simple: two thousand fans, hundreds of lawn chairs, one stage, grandma’s cooking, and 100% of proceeds donated directly to charity. Twenty-two years later, we still operate under the same guiding principles, but we’ve surely grown! The M3F Fund exists as a year-round venture, using our platform and resources to try and make the world a better place. The M3F Fund wouldn't exist without the support of our incredible fans, as 100% of every ticket to M3F Fest goes directly to charity. When you buy a ticket to have the time of their life at M3F Fest, you are ultimately giving back to the community around them. This is why we say: Every Ticket Counts!

     

    Impact:

    M3F takes pride in supporting the community as one of the only 100% non-profit Music Festivals. Since 2004, we have donated over $6 million to local charities. M3F's charitable giving focuses on four main categories: Arts, Community, Education, and the Environment.

    Acerca de M3F:

    Arraigado en un profundo amor por la música, las artes y la comunidad que nos rodea, M3F Fest se fundó con el propósito de retribuir. La idea era simple: dos mil fanáticos, cientos de sillas de jardín, un escenario, la cocina de la abuela y el 100% de las ganancias donadas directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Veintidós años después, seguimos operando bajo los mismos principios rectores, ¡pero seguramente hemos crecido! El Fondo M3F existe como una empresa durante todo el año, que utiliza nuestra plataforma y recursos para intentar hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. El Fondo M3F no existiría sin el apoyo de nuestros increíbles fans, ya que el 100% de cada entrada al M3F Fest se destina directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Cuando compras una entrada para pasar el mejor momento de su vida en el M3F Fest, en última instancia, estás retribuyendo a la comunidad que los rodea. Por eso decimos: ¡Cada entrada cuenta!

    Impacto:

    M3F se enorgullece de apoyar a la comunidad como uno de los únicos festivales de música 100% sin fines de lucro. Desde 2004, hemos donado más de 6 millones de dólares a organizaciones benéficas locales. Las donaciones caritativas de M3F se centran en cuatro categorías principales: artes, comunidad, educación y medio ambiente.

    15-Minutes of Movement Time 4:30 PM

    In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

    In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions, which will be held on Zoom, will be at 9:30 and 4:30 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.

      Therapeutic Writing Time 2:00 PM Location Virtual

      Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

      About M3F:

      Rooted in a deep love of music, the arts, and the community around us, M3F Fest was founded with the purpose to give back. The idea was simple: two thousand fans, hundreds of lawn chairs, one stage, grandma’s cooking, and 100% of proceeds donated directly to charity. Twenty-two years later, we still operate under the same guiding principles, but we’ve surely grown! The M3F Fund exists as a year-round venture, using our platform and resources to try and make the world a better place. The M3F Fund wouldn't exist without the support of our incredible fans, as 100% of every ticket to M3F Fest goes directly to charity. When you buy a ticket to have the time of their life at M3F Fest, you are ultimately giving back to the community around them. This is why we say: Every Ticket Counts!

       

      Impact:

      M3F takes pride in supporting the community as one of the only 100% non-profit Music Festivals. Since 2004, we have donated over $6 million to local charities. M3F's charitable giving focuses on four main categories: Arts, Community, Education, and the Environment.

      Acerca de M3F:

      Arraigado en un profundo amor por la música, las artes y la comunidad que nos rodea, M3F Fest se fundó con el propósito de retribuir. La idea era simple: dos mil fanáticos, cientos de sillas de jardín, un escenario, la cocina de la abuela y el 100% de las ganancias donadas directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Veintidós años después, seguimos operando bajo los mismos principios rectores, ¡pero seguramente hemos crecido! El Fondo M3F existe como una empresa durante todo el año, que utiliza nuestra plataforma y recursos para intentar hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. El Fondo M3F no existiría sin el apoyo de nuestros increíbles fans, ya que el 100% de cada entrada al M3F Fest se destina directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Cuando compras una entrada para pasar el mejor momento de su vida en el M3F Fest, en última instancia, estás retribuyendo a la comunidad que los rodea. Por eso decimos: ¡Cada entrada cuenta!

      Impacto:

      M3F se enorgullece de apoyar a la comunidad como uno de los únicos festivales de música 100% sin fines de lucro. Desde 2004, hemos donado más de 6 millones de dólares a organizaciones benéficas locales. Las donaciones caritativas de M3F se centran en cuatro categorías principales: artes, comunidad, educación y medio ambiente.

      15-Minutes of Movement Time 4:30 PM

      In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

      In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions, which will be held on Zoom, will be at 9:30 and 4:30 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.

        15-Minutes of Movement Time 4:30 PM

        In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

        In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

        15-Minutes of Movement Time 4:30 PM

        In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

        In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions, which will be held on Zoom, will be at 9:30 and 4:30 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.

The M3F Fund exists as a year-round venture, using our platform and resources to try and make the world a better place.

        Acerca de M3F:

        Arraigado en un profundo amor por la música, las artes y la comunidad que nos rodea, M3F Fest se fundó con el propósito de retribuir. La idea era simple: dos mil fanáticos, cientos de sillas de jardín, un escenario, la cocina de la abuela y el 100% de las ganancias donadas directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Veintidós años después, seguimos operando bajo los mismos principios rectores, ¡pero seguramente hemos crecido! El Fondo M3F existe como una empresa durante todo el año, que utiliza nuestra plataforma y recursos para intentar hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. El Fondo M3F no existiría sin el apoyo de nuestros increíbles fans, ya que el 100% de cada entrada al M3F Fest se destina directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Cuando compras una entrada para pasar el mejor momento de su vida en el M3F Fest, en última instancia, estás retribuyendo a la comunidad que los rodea. Por eso decimos: ¡Cada entrada cuenta!

        Impacto:

        M3F se enorgullece de apoyar a la comunidad como uno de los únicos festivales de música 100% sin fines de lucro. Desde 2004, hemos donado más de 6 millones de dólares a organizaciones benéficas locales. Las donaciones caritativas de M3F se centran en cuatro categorías principales: artes, comunidad, educación y medio ambiente.
