Help Us Close the Gap by April 30!
Scholarships needed for Youth Choir Singers!
Our ORS Youth Choir singers have been hard at work—not just in rehearsals, but in their fundraising efforts too! Thanks to their dedication, they’ve already raised nearly $10,000 toward our $20,000 Spring Sing goal for the Kris Van Auken Scholarship Fund. By taking an active role in fundraising, they’re helping ensure that their friends—and future generations of singers—can be part of this incredible program.
Now, we’re turning to our community to help us close the gap by April 30 and ensure that every child, regardless of financial circumstances, can experience the joy of singing.
Will you match our singers' efforts and help raise the final $10,000?
