Announcing Silent Auction 2014

CMC Silent Auction 2014
April 18 through May 4
Supporting music scholarships for low-income students

Our annual fundraiser offers concert tickets, dining, sports, musical instruments, and other products and activities donated by local businesses.  The auction provides funds for CMC to offer need-based tuition assistance and other programs to music students who otherwise would go without.  Bid sheets are posted in the CMC lobby for the duration of the event.  Take in a class or concert at the Center, and put in a bid for an item; there is no admission required to view or place a bid, so do it early and often - you might get a bargain!

Thanks to all the generous local business who gave such valuable items to keep harmony in every household!  See below for items as of 4/9/14, listed by estimated value of donation.  Full descriptions available at CMC from April 18 through the duration of the auction.  Names in bold are Making Musicians Festival event sponsors.
