As you can imagine (or as you may remember), a strong choral department relies heavily on the community's support. This support comes in so many ways- from attending concerts, to helping promote upcoming events, supporting fundraisers, and encouraging our students as they refine a life-long skillset.

Sapphire Scholarship
This newly established program seeks sponsors to assist students that are falling short of their fundraising goals or give to students that may not have the outreach to make the fundraisers the most successful. With this program, we are seeking patrons that are able to give some amount to a deserving student in need. These students must have been present at all fundraising opportunities presented to them, as well as displaying qualities of outstanding character and leadership.
If you're able to gift a student part or all of their yearly expenses, you will become a
Sapphire Saint and receive a "Thank You" card from the recipient.
Below are the tiers that make it easy to find a pledge amount that works for you:
Quartet $100.00
Duet $200.00
Soloist $400.00

This group establishes our "Show Choir Support Group" of VIP Patrons that keep the arts alive in Ripley. Becoming a donor allows you to be a VIP just for making a donation of at least $19.82. You will receive a card to bring to all choir functions. We'll stamp the card at each event you attend. At the end of the season, there will be a gift drawing for those members with
