We Can't Do This Without You.
Hello Friends of Citywater!
The Big Day of Giving is just a few short weeks away, and we are excited to have a new Director of Operations (Congrats Tim Stanley!), a new goal, a plan for a new season, and a couple of new gifts in store for our donors.
The Big Day of Giving for 2017 is May 4th. We love this. Because May the 4thbe with you. Always. (We are nerds.)
Here is the link to our profile on the Big Day of Giving website. Just click on that link on May 4th to donate to Citywater! It's that easy.https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/citywatermusic
If you won't be able to donate on May 4th, but you would like to donate beforehand, you can! This year you will be able to make an "offline gift" after the website is activated on April 14th. Any offline gifts made prior to May 4thwill be added to the total amount after the event closes at midnight of the 4th. Pretty great, right?
Our Goal
Our goal for the coming 2017/2018 season is $12,000!
This is our biggest goal yet.
Let's do this.
Our plan for the funds is to create a series of public concerts that will celebrate new American chamber music. We also want to commision, perform, and record pieces written specifically for Citywater by local composers. Part of the funds raised during this BigDOG will go to studio recording costs and commissioning fees. We want to get started this year on making enough recordings to have a full CD by the end of 2019.
