Fundraising
We are fortunate to have Meredith College sponsor the Capital City Girls Choir. CCGC provides our girls with an opportunity not available anywhere else in the Triangle. The annual tuition fee you pay covers the cost of the music, rehearsal facilities, accompanists, administrator, and our conductors, Dr. Fran Page and Mrs. Amy Davis. Also covered are costs of our newsletter, publicity, some bus transportation expenses, and other choir activities and expenses. All other expenses incurred by this organization must be covered by fundraising. For this reason, it is important that all members of the organization value fundraising activities and participate in these activities as much as possible.
CCGC will provide fundraising whenever possible to help defray travel expenses. Each fundraising event will benefit both the singer and our choir. Eighty percent (80%) of the proceeds earned for each event will go into each singer’s individual account. The remaining twenty percent (20%) will go to CCGC to cover overhead and scholarships. The balances in individual accounts will remain in the account until a singer or her parent requests the funds be used to pay for expenses or until the singer leaves the choir. If there is any balance in an individual account when a singer leaves the choir, those funds will be transferred a remaining sister or to the choir scholarship account.
Fundraising Opportunites
Paperback/CD/DVD Swap
Do you need to purge your book and media storage shelves? If so, before you take those boxes to your local thrift store, consider helping CCGC by registering on the Paperback Swap website. The Paperback Swap website has been updated and a new link has been assigned. This is a very easy fundraiser that will allow CCGC to receive $5 for every person who registers 10 books, CD’s and DVD’s on their website. CCGC could get up to $15 if you register books, CD’s and DVD’s. There’s nothing to buy or sell. You can also share this link with your friends, family, colleagues, and book clubs!
