Spring 2025 Fundraiser
Spring 2025 Fundraiser
Your support has made the past six years of La Grande Bande possible. Now, we’re asking for your continued and increased support as we prepare for our 25/26 Season.
As we prepare for the upcoming season, we are asking for your support to secure a $10,000 match by May 31. We have a great selection of music to share with you and we look forward to a great 25/26 Season ahead.
Spring 2025 Fundraising Progress
As of 4 June 2025.
Your contribution empowers La Grande Bande to provide the world-class musical performances and educational programs you love. We can’t do any of this without your support. Help us ensure our community can experience another world-class season in 2025/2026.
When you make a contribution or increase your current Sustainer level during our Spring 2025 fundraiser, you’ll be eligible to receive the benefits listed below.
As a special thank you for those who make a contribution during the Spring fundraiser (April 1 – May 31), we are pleased to offer a variety of thank you gifts.
