We have begun our 20th year as a non-profit foundation.

Funding
We are seeking sponsors to assist with achieving our primary goal - to provide live traditional big band era music to the Northeastern Ohio area's senior audiences. Sponsorship can take two forms:

  • Help us reach our audiences
    by contacting activities directors or others you know at senior centers and senior resident facilities or by providing us with information we can follow up. Enjoy the band? Please spread the word!

  • Financial sponsorship
    There are expenses in starting, equipping, promoting and operating such an organization and in underwriting the costs of performance which exceed the resources the musicians can provide unaided. Many facilities do not have budgets that allow them to fully pay for the band, about $600 minimum per concert. Support from sponsors is needed to make up the difference. Contributions are tax deductible.

We have been granted non-profit foundation status and are applying for several foundation grants but we would still appreciate any individual or company support.
