NYCGMC 2022 Membership Fundraising Drive
Dear Friends & Family,
It's time once again for the New York City Gay Men's Chorus Fall Membership Fundraising Drive! NYCGMC is a world-class, world-renowned institution and a pioneering voice for the LGBTQ community. Our mission - to build bridges through song - is carried out via our annual concert series, community outreach, and our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equality. As the Chorus begins its 43rd season, we need your help to continue bringing the joy of our music and the passion of our community outreach to NYC and beyond!
As many of you know, I've had a blast since joining the NYC Gay Men's Chorus nine years ago and lots of you have been lucky enough to attend our concerts and enjoy the beautiful music made by 300 of my LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters. As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of friends like you to help us continue reaching audiences across NYC and the world. Join us in furthering our mission to make the world a better place through song by contributing to our cause.
Donating is simple, fast and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this page link to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
I'm starting with a small goal, but I bet we can do better than that ;)
More about NYCGMC:
The New York City Gay Men’s Chorus 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.
Founded in 1979, NYCGMC provided a community when LGBTQ+ people faced daunting challenges and devastating loss. The Chorus now confronts the unprecedented challenges of 2020 in its inimitable fashion by reflecting on our extraordinary past and forging an innovative and exciting path towards the future, inviting New York City and the entire world to join in the celebration.
Comprising nearly 400 talented singers of various ages, backgrounds, and experiences, across a spectrum of gender identity and sexual orientation, NYCGMC is especially excited to welcome our new Associates singers this season from across the US and Canada.
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 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!
