The Non-Fashion Show of 2020

Dear Friends,

This year, rather than supporting our usual fall fashion show, we ask you to participate in a simple fundraiser to benefit the IPO Resilience Fund. The money we raise will help support the new virtual content being created, artist conversations over Zoom, new socially distanced Chamber Music concerts as well as a world premiere co-commission now underway. The IPO has ongoing commitments in our communities that we want to continue even without the benefit of ticket sales.

We are asking you to make a donation to the Friends of the IPO to support the IPO Resilience Fund. For each $25 you donate, your name will go into a drawing for our “Behind the Mask Door Prizes.” You will have one chance for each $25 you donate. For a $100 donation, your name will go into the drawing four times. The door prizes are listed on the next page and consist of gift certificates to stores, restaurants, salons, etc, that will be mailed to the winners.

The names will be drawn on October 17. Donations must be received by October 15. Instead of buying a ticket to our fashion show this year, we hope you will support this fundraiser.

Thank you for your support and stay well,

The Friends of the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra
