This Thanksgiving, we’re taking a pause—but holding the purpose.

Each November, The Ronan Fund Music Jam has brought our community together to celebrate music, gratitude, and the bright futures we’re supporting in Ronan’s name.

This Thanksgiving, the Jam will take a pause. It asks a great deal of heart, time, and energy from our organizers and musicians—and we’re giving ourselves the space to reflect and regroup. But don’t fret! You can expect a whole new format in 2026.

We remain deeply committed to supporting young people who are choosing a different path: one of creativity, craftsmanship, and purpose.

If you’ve ever danced, donated, or cheered with us at the Jam, we hope you’ll donate what you would have spent on tickets. Your gift will go directly to the next generation of local artists and tradespeople.

Meet Ray, an aspiring sound engineer and our second The Ronan Fund Apprentice at Q Division Studios!

Instead of taking the traditional college route, Ray is jumping straight into the studio, learning the craft hands-on. A lifelong musician, he picked up drums and guitar at a young age and now spends his time writing songs, performing live with his band, and honing his skills.

Welcome to The Ronan Fund family, Ray! Here’s to making music and chasing dreams, one track at a time.

Meet Miller, a recent graduate of Maynard High School and a recipient of The Ronan Fund. Miller is a fierce advocate for students who don’t always thrive in traditional classrooms—especially those labeled as being “too much.”

Driven by a passion for change and big dreams, Miller recently wrote a children's book that teaches kids about money and encourages them to keep dreaming. His goal? To write more books that make education more inclusive, empowering, and inspiring for all.

Congratulations Miller! We’re proud to be part of your path.
