What moment do YOU treasure in 2020?

“The two of us watched your musical moments together each day and they truly were the highlight of his day.”

—Tracy Rode, Jack Cole’s daughter

Jack and Ann Cole were treasured by so many, including VocalEssence. We are humbled to know that Philip Brunelle’s Musical Moments were such a comfort to Jack in his last days. It takes $250 to create each Musical Moment and we have now released more than 180 moments!

Because of the pandemic, VocalEssence is in a different place financially than we’ve ever been at this time of year. We’ve reduced our budget as much as possible, and shifted to virtual programming & concerts —all of which takes more resources, new skills, and patience.

This year, the difference between what ticket sales cover and what it truly takes to bring virtual music experiences like Musical Moments to you is $248,680.

The good news: There is just $43,572.62 left to fully fund the VocalEssence mission in 2020.

want to double the joy your gift creates?

Singing brings JOY to so many, especially now. Seeing the impact that VocalEssence has on people’s lives has inspired our board and staff to pool their increased gifts to create a $17,000 match. DOUBLE the JOY your gift creates when you give before the end of 2020. Together, let’s end the year on a high note!
