Playathon 2026
Playathon is one of our most beloved traditions at New Jersey Youth Symphony. We are thrilled to return to The Mills at Jersey Gardens Mall in Elizabeth on Sunday, March 22.
Playathon is also NJYS's largest fundraiser. Tuition only covers 70% of expenses and we fundraise for the remaining $100,000 to keep programming affordable for our families. Please help us reach our goal by June 30 by creating and sharing your fundraising page today!
