Funding

Fundraising

Fundraising is a very important and necessary part of every choral program.

Fundraising allows us to purchase music (approx. $2.10 per copy of 1 song), pay registration fees for festivals, transportation costs, accompanist fees, printing of programs, and more.

It teaches students about the relationship between hard work, money, and the rewards of their efforts. It also requires them to apply their mathematical skills and learn basic business-building principals to be successful in their endeavors.

However, due to the recurring costs faced by our performance-based program, fundraising projects alone are not enough to defray all of our expenses for the year.

Parents and community members may choose to sponsor the E.B. Aycock Choral Program by making tax-deductible donations, or they may seek sponsorships through their businesses or employers. Some employers participate in making matching gifts. Please check with your Human Resources Department for more information.

Parents may also become sponsors for students who are avid participants, but who are unable to afford their basic supplies or concert clothing. Just sponsoring one additional student for the year would be of great help! (Sponsorships may be anonymous, if desired.)

Thanks to each of you in advance for your support!

I look forward to receiving your sponsorships, donations, and fundraising ideas.
