Pianothon for Madagascar ‘Tree Twins’

Join us for a piano music marathon, a cuppa (maybe a cake too) and a browse of the book stall. You don’t have to stay for the whole twelve hours!

Queniborough’s Megan R and family are fundraising for MfM’s Tree Twinning, linking our village’s trees with trees in Madagascar.

“In Madagascar 80% of the plants and animals are found nowhere else on earth. Tree Twinning directly protects biodiversity, mitigates climate change, and strengthens communities. We don’t just plant trees and walk away. We work with the communities who plant the trees so that both people and plants flourish together, sustainably.”

MfM (Money for Madagascar)

The pianothon starts at 8:00 AM in St Mary’s Church, Queniborough and moves to Queniborough Village Hall at 11:00 AM. There will be piano playing across the whole 12 hours with special guests and other musicians from the village taking part. We’d love to see you at any time before the finish line at 8:00 PM.

You can make a donation at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/queni-pianothon.
