Choral Foundation of Northern Virginia

FRIENDS EVERYWHERE! I'm asking for your HELP today.

Please support my efforts to "Enrich Lives Through Singing" with a generous online contribution to the chorus I'm privileged to direct, The Alexandria Singers, the DC area's "premier pops chorus!" Our entertainment and educational offerings provide high-quality choral music experiences to all members of our community, regardless of their ability to pay.

Online giving for the City of Alexandria's "Day of Giving," Spring2ACTion, is open NOW, and concludes on Wednesday, April 24.

The link below that takes you to my fundraising page to learn more about the campaign, along with a special message from me. That's where you'll be able to make your simple, secure donation. Thank you SO much for your love, support and encouragement of my efforts over countless years!
