Geneseo High School Choir receives $14,500 from local donations
Local area businesses, foundations, and organizations came together and raised enough money in less than one month for the Geneseo High School Choir to purchase new robes and dresses.
Geneseo, IL, November 19, 2009: Representatives from local foundations, organizations, and businesses will be presenting Choir Director Steve LaCroix, on behalf of the Geneseo High School Music Department, a check for $14,500 at the Geneseo High School Auditorium, 700 N. State Street, Geneseo, IL, on November 24, 2009 at 9:30 a.m.
The donations will be used to purchase new dresses for the Junior/Senior Choir girls, replacing dresses purchased in the 1980s, as well as replacing Sophomore Concert Choir robes that are more than 33 years old. "It's an honor to be a part of a community that generously supports our students and the music department." as Mr. LaCroix expressed his heartfelt appreciation toward the contributors after receiving the news regarding the donation. The Geneseo High School Choir and Band are scheduled to perform in Florida over spring break next year. It's expected that the new uniforms will arrive in time to make a debut during the Florida tour.
Lead by the Geneseo Rotary Club, sufficient funds were raised in less than 30 days. Each donor recognized the need and pledged more to support the Geneseo's Music Program and the youth of the Geneseo community.
