Confidential Sponsorship Proposal
Supporter Proposal
2010/2011 Season
Overview
The Harbour View Choral Ensemble is pleased to present the following
supporter proposal to interested parties that would like to support Saint
John’s premiere choir for their 2010/2011 season, which culminates in a trip
to Germany and Austria JUNE 26 TO JULY 6, 2011.
As ambassadors of the City of Saint John, the Province of New Brunswick and
as the only representatives from Canada, choir members, who are all
students at Harbour View High School, will visit and perform at numerous
stops, including a performance at the Nazi Concentration Camp at Dachau
and participation at the Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music
Festival in Vienna, Austria.
The choir has a successful history of touring abroad and in Canada, with
previous trips to the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Italy, as well as
Boston, the New England states and Ottawa.
Funding required for this incredible trip is budgeted at $ 200,000.00.
While each choir member contributes $ 2,000.00 of their own money and
choir members and their families particip ate in various fund-raising activities
throughout the year, additional funding is needed.
This presents a unique opportunity for you to show community support and
help provide life-long educational memories, while sending young
ambassadors to represent our City, Provin ce and Country in a positive light.
Your financial support is eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
