Musical Chairities Fundraising Concerts

Musical CHAIRities' goal is to raise funds for worthy charities by organizing musical events of exceptionable quality. We are a non-profit group, committed to aiding established charities in need. After hosting live music concerts for years in our home, we wanted to use our expertise to host benefit concerts.

With the aid of our supporters’ donations, we have raised nearly $8000 to chosen charities. We have a fondness for reaching out and helping others and view Musical CHAIRities as an extension of that. We look forward to future performances and hope you will join us for wonderful musical events with your generous contributions.

How it Works

It’s like a sponsorship for a walk, except you as the sponsor will have the opportunity to enjoy a concert with the proceeds going to charity!

On the day of the benefit concert, cash, checks, and/or money orders are taken at the door. A suggested minimum donation will be posted. Checks and money orders are made out to the charity the performance is sponsoring. This will serve as your receipt and ticket to the show.

You can also gather sponsors in advance of the concert -- or market it by "selling a chair" for the event.

Past Musical Chairities events include:

Events to support the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation

Vienna Teng performed for over 120 people, with proceeds totaling $6335! The number not only included the suggested door donation, but CD sales, a silent art auction, and matching cash donations by Long Drugs. Thanks to local artists Margie Dickerson, Karen Luk, and (one more artist) for donating their work for the auction! Thanks to Gael and her staff at Mission Coffee for providing the venue!
