As we approach the end of our fiscal year and reflect on this remarkable season, your support is needed to reach our year-end objectives. To our current donors, thank you for your generous commitment to our work! If you are not currently a donor, contributing to the Gulf Coast Symphony annual fund provides the operational support that touches everything we do. The achievements of the Gulf Coast Symphony, which we celebrated during this 30th Anniversary Season, would not be possible without you— our incredible philanthropic supporters – who have made all the difference over the course of our history. It has led to the creation of the Music & Arts Community Center (MACC), the Southwest Florida Theatre Co., and the Gulf Coast Jazz Collective, plus our numerous education programs. We have presented over 200 shows each of the past two seasons, a remarkable expansion of the cultural vibrancy of our community. Your support means the Gulf Coast Symphony can continue to grow, and allow us to offer you musical performances at a level of excellence few companies of our size achieve outside of the largest metropolitan areas. As we work to close this season on a high note and meet our year-end fundraising targets, we hope that you will consider a gift to the Symphony, or consider expand- ing your support to include our other programs, such as our Youth Education Fund, our Theatre Guild, or our Jazz Society. Your financial support, especially as we look at the uncertainty and potential elimination of government funding, will help ensure we finish strong and lay the groundwork for another exceptional season ahead. In fact, if everyone receiving this email would donate just $12 – just a dollar a month – we would easily exceed our goal for this fiscal year, which ends June 30. Of course, gifts of all sizes are critically important, and all gifts are recognized in our concert programs. To make your gift now, click the button below.
