Dear Friends and Family,
I would like to ask you if you could donate some money to Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra because if you do, we can have more fun in playing our instruments. Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra is where I go once a week to play my violin with friends and three times a year we have a concert to show how much progress we have made and to let other people hear our music.
I am in the orchestra called Prelude. I even get to be Principal 2nd Violin on the Beethoven Symphony No. 3. That’s a really important job to lead a section. We get to learn extra pieces and it’s a lot of fun. This year with the pandemic, Prelude has been one of the few activities I get to do in-person. They worked hard to make that happen for us. This is my second year. I love my conductor, the new friends I have made, the music we play, and just getting to get out of the house.
So if you could donate just a little before March 27, I would be very grateful!
Thank you for reading my letter and if you decide to donate, I thank you!
Love, Lucy Bickel

The EYSO is collecting donations as part of our annual fundraising campaign: NOTES. This campaign runs from January 23 to March 27.
The purpose of the campaign is to help keep tuition affordable for EYSO members by encouraging EYSO families to collect donations from friends, family, co-workers, neighbors--and you! All contributions to the EYSO are tax deductible, as allowable by law.
Would you, or someone you know, be willing to donate to EYSO?
This year, we are celebrating our 46th season with the theme FLIPPED! We have five orchestras, a brass choir, two percussion ensembles, a flute choir and a chamber music program with nearly 300 students from fourth grade through college. The mission of EYSO is to create a community of young musicians, enriching their lives and the lives of their families, schools, communities, and beyond, through the study and performance of excellent music. By supporting the NOTES campaign, you are impacting the lives of so many, including myself. You can learn more about us at EYSO.org.
Tuition covers only one-third of the total cost of each member’s participation in EYSO. Our NOTES campaign helps keep tuition reasonable and offsets program costs.
In addition to offsetting the cost of tuition, the generosity of people like you also helps to:
- Provide a more diverse repertoire of music.
- Purchase necessary resources including sheet music and instruments.
- Allows EYSO to have a broader reach by offering innovative community programs.
Please consider donating to EYSO to help Prelude meet its goal. More importantly, it will help benefit all student musicians in EYSO.
Once the NOTES campaign is completed, you will receive a donation acknowledgement from EYSO for tax purpose. The campaign concludes on Sunday, March 27.
Thanks very much for your support!
