Tim Blanchard-Modisette's NYCGMC 2020 Membership Fundraising Page
Welcome to ny Fundraising Page!
This is my 16th season singing with NYCGMC, which is an internationally renowned performing arts institution in New York City and a pioneering voice for the LGBTQ+ community. Through the power of song, NYCGMC challenges people’s perceptions of the LGBTQ+ community, combats fear and hatred, encourages compassion and human connection, and thrills audiences with inspiring performances. NYCGMC champions social justice and embraces the values of diversity, inclusion, equity, and intersectionality.
NYCGMC’s first entirely virtual season will present two concerts, in December 2020 and May 2021. For more information, please visit www.nycgmc.org.
As a non-profit organization, NYCGMC relies on the generosity of donors to support this important work and to keep our song alive. With the impact of COVID-19 creating particularly challenging circumstances for choral and performing groups, NYCGMC is unable to perform live this year, yet continues to thrive by expanding the reach to a national audience and producing stirring virtual performances with crucial messages of social justice and equality. Your support allows NYCGMC to amplify our mission and our voices at this important moment. Thank you for your generosity!
When performing in person, NYCGMC presents three mainstage shows and over forty outreach activities across all five boroughs and beyond annually. Previous years’ outreach performances have included appearances at LGBTQ teen homeless shelters, at SAGE (Services and Advocacy for GLBTQ Elders), and at corporate and public pride celebrations. NYCGMC has performed at Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and Yankee Stadium; at gala fundraisers for the Swish Ally Fund and the Ackerman Institute; and at the Brooklyn Museum and the Global Citizen concert in Central Park, among many others. Television appearances including Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, and Last Week Tonight have provided a national platform for the mission. Through technical assistance and joint concerts, NYCGMC supports development of LGBTQ choruses in the U.S. and internationally. NYCGMC’s school outreach program serves over 2,000 NYC public middle and high school students.
