Support The Symphony

2/21/2011
Dear Subscriber, We once again would like to thank you for your support of the symphony. To present our concerts we look to a variety of sources to raise money (ticket sales, grants, corporate and individual contributions). To date we have exceeded expectation in ticket sales, currently 40% ahead of last year. We have also had success with government and private grants. With these in hand we have achieved 80% of our budget. The remaining 20% still needs to be raised from private donors, both corporate and individual contributors. National statistics for symphonies show private donation represent 40% of an orchestra’s income. We only need 20%. That represents approximately $30,000 needed to finish our fiscal year on June 30, 2011. If you have made a contribution this season in addition to your ticket purchase we are most grateful. If you have not or would like to make an additional contribution, we urge you to contribute now and help us finish the season as successfully as we began. Enclose is a return envelope, please send it back today All contributions are tax deductible as allowable by law. The Florence Symphony Orchestra is a 501(C)3 non-profit corporation. With grateful thanks, Wendell Jones Board Chairman

The Florence Symphony since 1949 has brought quality music, education and entertainment to Florence and the Pee Dee. Currently we offer a 5 concert series at the Florence Civic Center and a Youth Orchestra training young talented musicians who perform for the city’s school children, seniors and visit surrounding communities. To accomplish these programs we look to a variety of sources to raise money (ticket sales, grants, corporate and individual contributions). To date we have exceeded expectation in ticket sales, currently 40% ahead of last year. We have also had success with government and private grants. With these in hand we have achieved 80% of our budget. The remaining 20% needs to be raised from private donors, both corporate and individual contributors. National statistics for symphonies show private donation represent 40% of an orchestra’s income. We only need 20%. That represents approximately $30,000 needed to finish our fiscal year on June 30, 2011. Please join us in the continuing success of the Symphony by becoming a sponsor.
