Annual Campaign 2007
We heartily thank the thousands of donors who have contributed to the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s 2007 Annual Campaign. To date, we have collected 89% of our $2,406,000 goal! Yet, we still need to raise more than $270,000 before the end of the 2006-07 Season. We need YOUR help!
THE CHALLENGE
The Gouvernet Arts Fund graciously has stepped forward and awarded us a grant of $50,000 to support the much-needed renovations to our administrative office building. Although the renovations are critically important to the RPO, they cannot begin until the Annual Campaign—a primary source of operating funds for the RPO—is successfully completed. Therefore, the Gouvernet Arts Fund has encouraged us to promote its contribution as a challenge to reach our Annual Campaign goal!
THE OPPORTUNITY
Any new, renewed or increased gift that helps us complete the RPO 2007 Annual Campaign will allow the RPO to sustain this season’s programming and operational expenses. It also will bring us closer to being able to undertake desperately needed repairs to the off-stage face of the RPO—its box office and administrative headquarters at 108 East Avenue.
Make your Annual Campaign pledge today, or give an additional gift, and pay it by August 31, 2007. You can make a secure credit card gift online at your convenience. Monthly credit card and installment plans also are available, please call (585) 454-7311 x247 for more information. Click here to review individual membership benefits.
THE REWARD
It’s a win-win situation for you and your Orchestra. In addition to knowing that your gift is a tangible means of supporting the RPO, you know that it also helps us improve a part of downtown Rochester’s cultural district.
