Friends of VCS is our annual fall fundraising campaign that makes it possible for us to produce unique thematic choral programs for a wide range of audiences. Every “Friend” who donates at any level receives a number of valuable benefits, including a “Companion Certificate” – one free ticket to bring a guest to see and experience a VCS concert. Running for the month of September, our choir members reach out directly to community residents, guests and visitors to find donors who, through their generous donations, support the Arts, youth music programs and local musicians.
Levels of Giving
Bronze Level $25 – 99
Silver Level $100 – 249
Gold Level $250 – 499
Platinum Level $500 and up
