Every Member Can Help!

This year the Chorale has an ambitious fundraising dollar amount to raise for the production costs of our performances. Here’s how you can help.

• Consider making a tax deductible donation. In addition, many corporations offer matching grant programs.
• Provide a list of names and addresses of family, friends, and co-workers who you know support the local arts to be added to our annual donor appeal.
• Provide a list of names and addresses who would be interested in attending a concert.
• If you have any information on local Foundations or companies who award grants, please let us know.
• Program ads! If you know any local businesses who you believe would love to sponsor an ad in the creatively designed and professionally printed programs let us know.

Contact our fundraising chairperson, Patti Ross, if you can help. (pross138@comcast.net)
