We are excited to announce a silent auction “Springing Forward in Song”. As all of you know, the pandemic halted our operations and prevented our multigenerational group from singing together for nearly two years. We have a lofty goal of raising $5,000! Meeting this goal will allow us to buy new music, fairly compensate our accompanist and director, cover overhead and operating costs so we can continue bringing social justice voices to our community and beyond.. Our inclusive values mean that we never turn away singers who cannot pledge to pay our organization’s dues. With just a $200 donation you will be able to support a singer for an entire year! Whether your interests are tickets to a performance, fun family activities, the CU local food scene, or beautiful handmade art you will surely find something to bid on and take home. We have so many beautiful donations from our generous singers and community. For those far from CU, we will offer shipping of many smaller items, and there will be an opportunity to simply donate. Please check our Facebook or Instagram often for information on how to register and participate and auction sneak peeks!
