</div>
<div>For seventeen years, Earful of Fiddle has been more than just a summer camp — it’s been a vibrant, joy-filled community rooted in traditional music, dance, and connection. This June, we invite you to support our swan song and help cover rising costs of producing arts events.

<div>This lovely video, created by Blake Hannahson at last year's camp, captures the essence of Earful: <a href="https://vimeo.com/1015004718/981ad15dc6?share=copy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://vimeo.com/1015004718/981ad15dc6?share=copy" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://vimeo.com/1015004718/981ad15dc6?share=copy</a></a>

<div>Why We Need Your Help
</div>
<div>As we prepare to host the final gathering of Earful of Fiddle in 2025, we want to honor the magic, music, movement, and memories that have defined our camp. Your support will help us ensure we finish strong and meet our budget goals. Arts funding is hard to come by in 2025. Like many arts organizations this year, we did not receive funding from state or county arts councils. We are acutely feeling the financial challenge of presenting our camp for one final year. Rather than cancelling Earful 2025, we're asking for your help.

<div>What Earful Means
</div>
<div>Whether you've joined us in the woods of Michigan with an instrument in hand, flatfooted or square danced into the wee hours, enjoyed a late-night game of Winds of Change, played your first tune in public at the Earful Idol camper showcase, or watched your child discover the joy of music and dance traditions, you know Earful is about the special community we make each year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve built a space where all ages, abilities, and skill levels are welcome. We’ve offered scholarships for 2SLGBTQIA+ campers and Black, Indigenous, and campers of color, something not found at other traditional music and dance camps. We’ve prioritized inclusive and balanced hiring practices in our faculty. And we’ve sure had fun!
</div>

</div>
<div>What Will the Funds Be Used For
</div>
<div>Instructor Salaries: $7000
</div>
<div>Instructor Travel Costs: $3000
</div>
<div>Camp Rental: $4000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Earful of Fiddle is a registered charity, your donation is tax deductible (if you provide your email address when donating).
</div>
<div>Let’s Make this Farewell a Festival
</div>
<div>This is not goodbye — it’s a grand finale. With your support, we’ll go out dancing, playing, and singing as only Earful of Fiddle can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this special event year after year!
