NAC Orchestra Musicians’ FanFair Campaign Raises $57,126 for the Snowsuit Fund and the Food Bank
December 21, 2004 -
The musicians of the National Arts Centre Orchestra are pleased to announce that the 2004 NACO musicians' Christmas FanFair fundraising campaign raised a total of $57,126 for the Snowsuit Fund and the Food Bank. This amount will be divided evenly between the two charities.
The Snowsuit fund distributes over 15,000 snowsuits every year. The Food Bank gives food assistance to 32,000 people every month - nearly half of them children.
The musicians of the NAC Orchestra wish most sincerely to thank the National Arts Centre, members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 471, the National Arts Centre Orchestra Association (NACOA), the Ottawa Citizen and Bell Canada for their generous support.
