Our Story

A simple idea with a powerful purpose.

The story.

Music For Miles began with a simple but powerful belief: music can change lives.

 

What started as a desire to help others through music quickly grew into something much bigger—a movement built around community, creativity, and giving back. From the very beginning, our goal has been clear: to help as many groups, charities, and causes as possible by turning live music into meaningful impact.

 

We saw a need—not just for funding, but for space. Space for performers to be heard. Space for charities to share their mission. Space for communities to come together in a way that feels joyful, inclusive, and authentic. So we created it.

 

At the heart of Music For Miles are our music variety shows—the very events that sparked this journey. Each show brings together a diverse lineup of talent, from pianists and singers to banjo, guitar, ukulele, and full bands. No single genre defines us, because no single voice should. Everyone is welcome—performers, families, supporters, and first-time attendees alike.

 

But these events are about more than music.

 

They are about connection. Music has a rare ability to cross barriers of age, background, and experience. It creates shared moments that stay with people long after the final note is played. When music becomes the foundation for giving back, fundraising transforms into something memorable, engaging, and deeply human.

 

By supporting Music For Miles, you are investing in more than a single cause. Your generosity helps us create platforms where multiple charities and organizations can tell their stories, raise critical funds, and reach new audiences. From youth programs and education to mental health, housing, and community support, your contribution helps strengthen an entire ecosystem of good. One donation becomes many opportunities for impact.

 

Our events bring together families, young people, local businesses, nonprofits, and long-time supporters—people united by shared values and a desire to make a difference. These gatherings spark awareness, inspire action, and plant the seeds for ongoing involvement long after the music fades.

 

Behind every successful event is careful planning, coordination, outreach, and collaboration. Your donation helps sustain this foundation—ensuring that we can continue hosting high-quality events, supporting partner organizations, and expanding our reach across Arizona.

 

When you support Music For Miles, you help turn music into momentum, performances into purpose, and generosity into lasting change.

 

We invite you to donate, attend an event, and be part of something truly special.

 

Together, we can keep the music playing—and the impact growing.

Who we serve through the power of music.

Youth Cancer Organizations

There is nothing more heartbreaking than that of a youth having their life upended by a battle with cancer. For both the youth and the family, this battle is real minute to minute and day to day. At Music for Miles we support nonprofits with a focus on helping youth and families facing the reality of cancer treatment.

Veteran Hero
Causes

They gave their all for us. Protecting our freedoms, our way of life. Now it’s time to give back to them. Music for Miles is proud to support nonprofits that help our Veteran Heroes battle PTSD, provide housing, clothing and other live altering assistance.

Miscarriage and
SIDS Causes

The loss of a child is the most earth shattering event that can happen to a family. The loss carries on long after the funeral and the goodbyes. We support nonprofits that give life changing services to those that have lost a child.
