Sponsorships
We are thrilled to launch our inaugural sponsorship program “Giving a Voice to Excellence” for the year 2024-25.This program will support over 330 students and 3 amazing teachers who consistently have accomplished superior ratings and received numerous accolades. We are excited to offer this opportunity to our choir parents/family and local community and will be honored if you consider partnering with us. Your tax deductible donation will open doors to supporting these endeavors as the cost of running a successful choir program is quite considerable.
Please find our 2024-25 sponsorship goals and ways to get involved in the attached flyer. We look forward to your support and your participation. Please note that a sponsorship does not take the place of a choir student's annual fee, but rather would be a donation in addition to their choir fee.
