SUPPORT THE SILVER TONES
Since their founding in October 2024, the Silver Tones have grown from a small group of 10 to a thriving choir of nearly 35 members! Practicing weekly and performing throughout our community, the group cherishes the opportunity to connect with others.  As they continue to grow, the costs associated with this wonderful program increases as well.  Donations made to this group will support the purchase of new sheet music, which costs over $100 per song, as well as other expenses associated with the program. Any donation would be so appreciated to help the Silver Tones continue sharing the joy of music!
