 "The Arts Help"

A Pilot philanthropic project of the New Choral Society

Past FUNdraiser's at CPK......

At our CPK FUNdraiser in May, 2010, the funds raised were directed to "raise tents" in Haiti. As the rainy season approached, the need for large tents to house schools for children, became critical. We decided that in our effort to give back to those in need, all funds raised at our FUNdraiser last May would go toward providing a large, festival sized tent for a Haitian children's school. Our goal was to raise $1,000 which will cover the cost of the tent, as well as the shipping and delivery, through a relief agency, working directly with the Haitians getting these temporary schools set up. We fell a little short of that goal, but through efforts of generous contributors, we continued to collect money and did reach the goal.

 Events in 2009

In May 2009, keeping with its committment to help those in our community at large who are in need, the New Choral Society joined the Great American Bake Sale to support Share Our Strength and the fight against childhood hunger in the U.S.

At the season finale performances of Bach's "Mass in B Minor", May 16 and 17, baked goods were sold, and 100% of the proceeds of the sale were donated to Share Our Strength. In order to reach our goal we are reached out to our community of music lovers and together we raised over $1,400. Thanks to all who contributed baked goods, and especially to those who bought them!

In December 2008, the New Choral Society piloted a project to help feed the hungry and homeless in Westchester County.  Audience members who attended the upcoming Messiah concerts on December 5 and 7, joined forces with the chorus and orchestra to bring a canned item or non-perishable food item, to the concert. The response was tremendous and over 200 lbs. of food was delivered to the food pantry and soup kitchen run by the Union Baptist Church in New Rochelle, NY, a member of the Westchester Coalition for the Hungry and Homeless.

The New Choral Society wishes to thank all those who made these outreach efforts such a great success! Be sure to check back here for future opportunities to help those in need through "The Arts Help".
