2012 NVYS Tour Fundraising Overview

The Napa Valley Youth Symphony is committed to providing a fantastic tour experience for all members and making the trip as affordable as possible for all students who wish to participate. The NVYS will be organizing multiple fundraising events throughout the year to collectively reduce the cost of the tour and is also committed to providing families and students multiple methods of fundraising for their individual tour costs.

Fundraising falls under two major categories:

GROUP FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS AND GOALS

The NVYS will be sponsoring three group fundraising campaigns throughout the 2011-2012 season to:

1. Provide scholarships for needy students
2. Establish a buffer against unforeseen tour costs and any airline fuel fees
3. Reduce the collective cost of the tour for all students

For instance, because of the success of the 2011 NVYS fundraiser (Red Gala 2011), the Board of NVYS decided to directly subsidize $500 of the tour cost for each student interested in participating in the tour.

Group fundraising events for 2011-2012 season include:

1. Ticket sales for exclusive Paris Vacation Drawing – completed!
   $20/ticket for chance at a 5-day/3-night Paris vacation for two with air and hotel
   
   50% of all funds go towards student’s tour costs, other 50% to NVYS Group goal is 1,000 tickets, number of tickets capped at 2,000.


2. St. Helena Hospital fundraiser – completed!
   Commitment to place magnetic bumper sticker on car for 1 year!
   
   Upon success (100 bumper sticker commitments), $100 off each student’s tour cost


3. Red Gala – April 28, 2012 (see more information below)
   Supports general operating funds and scholarships with the goal of providing an additional $500+/student for tour costs

INDIVIDUAL FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS

For the 2011-12 season, the NVYS is setting a $250 minimum fundraising commitment (similar to this year) for each student, beyond which 100% of the funds raised will go towards the student’s tour cost. The 3 programs are:

1. Sponsorships for Red Gala 2012 beginning at $250 a couple


2. Ad sales for all concerts (the entire 2011-2012 season AND Red Gala)


3. Ticket sales for all concerts (all ticket sales need to be done through the Youth Symphony)

If a student raises $750 from ad sales over the course of the year, $500 will be attributed to their tour cost and every dollar more will also be applied to their tour cost. Please note: These Inidvidual Programs are separate from the Paris Drawing and the St. Helena Hospital fundraiser, which DO NOT COUNT towards the $250 per child fundraising requirement.
