This past March, our program launched its newest fundraising initiative, 3&Me, as a month-long social media campaign driven to raise funds in celebration of the $100,000 commitment given to the program at the end of last year.

‍

Long-time Charlotte Choir School supporters as well as St. Peter's parishioners, John Buric and his husband Jeff Chandler, graciously committed to giving the program $100,000 over the next three years.

"We're giving to a program that has an opportunity to inspire kids,"

John shared when asked what about The Choir School inspired him and Jeff to give.

As the charitable donors behind the commitment with inspiration at its core, John & Jeff also inspired us to create this three-year fundraising campaign aiming to educate existing and future supporters on contributions and why they are a vital part of making our non-profit program accessible for all while also matching a $33,333 annual fundraising goal. Every March until 2026, we will designate our annual fund to go towards 3&Me and continue to celebrate on our social media by featuring choristers in the program and how people can get involved.

“This is something we wanted to make sure we celebrated as it means a great deal. This commitment will directly allow our choristers to have the best experience they possibly can while in the program,"

Executive Director, Davis A. Tapp shared in a press release that went out at the start of the campaign.

Although the month of March is over, giving in support of the mission behind 3&Me is not. Our program continues to work towards raising funds all year long through other initiatives such as our three seasonal concerts, as well as annual events like Intermezzo and Serenade.
