. . . to financially support the Cumberland Valley School of Music Annual Fund!

CVSM sent annual appeal letters to our entire constituency last fall asking for financial support from our students and their families, performance attendees, volunteers, faculty and local music lovers. The response has been good but numbers and amounts are less than in previous years. We understand that the economy is challenging for everyone - and it is certainly challenging for nonprofit organizations like CVSM who are cutting expenses and trying hard not to eliminate programs or raise prices. 
 
If you have yet to make your annual gift to CVSM, please do so today! Our supporters are so important to the future of Cumberland Valley School of Music!
 
Imagine a world without music, without opportunities to learn music, or play music or hear music performed.  It's hard to imagine such a world but you can do something about it. Support CVSM's Annual Fund!
