“These things that make us dream also make us sing.”
— Robert Ressler, This is why we sing

The Summer Singers could not bring you exceptional a cappella concerts on a free-will donation basis without the generosity of our Sustainers. Sustainers make a three-year financial commitment to the organization allowing us some financial consistency from year to year. This continuity was especially critical in the choir’s early years.

Starting in 2022, The Summer Singers will begin to evolve how we view giving. While more changes are to come, the first of these changes is how we want to emphasize our givers. We want to celebrate givers who have supported The Summer Singers by their longevity and highlight their lifetime monetary commitment to the quality and excellence of the ensemble. One-time givers will be included in the “1-4 years” category because we want to acknowledge and thank all the people who made the 2022 season possible. 

If you are interested in supporting The Summer Singers, please visit our donate page or email info@summersingers.org.

Annual pledge for 3 consecutive years

Thank you to our SUSTAINERS AND donors!
