NYCGMC 2022 Membership Fundraising Drive

Welcome to the NYCGMC 2022 Membership Fundraising Drive!

Thank you for coming to my page! I've been a proud member of the chorus since 2011. I was always aware of how much the chorus meant in my life. But never knew how much until the couple of years that I was on leave of absence due to various medical exigencies. The amount of support and love and friendship I received during that time was unequaled. Not only are we an organization that tries to reach out and help other communities and other causes, we are also there for one another. It really is a FAMILY that you are always a part of once you join, no matter where your life may bring you.

That is why I am reaching out to each and every one of you to please consider donating whatever you can to this amazing organization. There is no amount too small (or too large!). Every dollar helps us continue to foster goodwill, friendship, outreach and advocacy for a multitude of different people and causes.

A little bit about us:

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. 

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. 
 

Thank you again for your support!
