Caleb Romero's ESYO Fundraising Page 

Welcome to my fundraising page for the Empire State Youth Orchestra!

Hi, my name is Caleb Romero I am a saxophonist in the ESYO Reprertory Jazz Ochestra Ensemble. This is my first year participating and I have really enjoyed it.  This fundraiser would help go to the ESYOprogram, conductors and possible scholarships to the students. It would make ESYO a better place if you could donate. Thank you!

Thank you so much for considering a donation; this really helps.

Sincerely,

Caleb Romero, Repertory Jazz Orchestra, 7th grade

🎶 SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF MUSIC 🎶

Playathon is ESYO’s most important friend-raiser and fundraiser of the year! This fun-filled day of music raises money for ESYO while showcasing the breadth & depth of our program! This free, family event takes place on Saturday, March 23rd from 10:30am through 5:15pm at Crossgates Mall and showcases hundreds of young musicians. It's the only day of the year where all ESYO ensembles (including CHIME) perform—from the deep rumble of the percussion ensembles to the uplifting trills of the wind orchestra. The day also includes live auctions, including a chance to lead one of the ensembles!

The marathon display of musical talent is more than simply a community concert, it helps ESYO ensure no qualified musician is ever turned away from the ESYO Experience because of an inability to pay. Your support is needed now more than ever. The money raised will fund a substantial portion of ESYO’s operating expenses and musician scholarships.

Our Playathon fundraising goal for 2024 is $120,000. To reach our goal, we have challenged each ensemble, our board of directors, and our staff with their own fundraising goal. Help them get there by giving generously today!
