Donate to NOTES 2023 today!

Dear possible donor,

Hello, My name is Noelle Park. I am a student in the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra and I play violin in the Primo ensemble. I am writing this letter in the hopes that you will help me to raise funds for EYSO. This year our goal is to raise $54,500. I would really appreciate your support for something that means a lot to me and to many other kids.

Today EYSO serves nearly 400 students in 4th grade through college from 70 different communities via five orchestras, as well as percussion ensembles, Brass Choir and the Flute Choir. The mission of EYSO is to create a community of young musicians, enriching their lives and lives of their families, schools, communities, and beyond, through the study and performance of excellent music. By supporting the 2023 NOTES campaign, you are impacting the lives of so many, including myself.

EYSO means a lot to me. It has made an impact on my life, and it has helped me along my journey as a young musician. I started playing violin in the 3rd grade. I wasn’t learning a lot in the school orchestra especially after covid lockdowns. My teacher thought I was good enough to try out for EYSO. When I look back at that day, I am glad that I decided to audition for EYSO because it has provided me with a wonderful experience. I have learned a lot more than I would have if I had just stuck to the school orchestra. I have also made many new friends in EYSO.

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. Donations of any size can make a real impact!

You can donate online by credit card via my campaign page (visit eyso.org/notes-2023, select primo, and scroll to find my name) or mail a check to me directly. Once the NOTES campaign is completed, you will receive a donation acknowledgement from EYSO for tax purposes.

Thank you for the support! <3

Noelle, Park
