Singing their Hearts Out! Girls to Carnegie Hall!

Donation protected

Dear Community,

Need some good news??? Our daughters, Ella and Grace, have been chosen by their choir director for an incredible opportunity... to sing at Carnegie Hall!!! We are floored, the girls are beyond excited, and we are deeply proud to see Grace and Ella's dedication and commitment to music realized in this rare opportunity. But for this dream to come true, the girls need your help! Please give if you can - any amount helps the girls get to Carnegie Hall and will be deeply appreciated!

For years, Ella and Grace have shared their music with our community, showing up when needed, bringing us joy, and reminding us of what keeps us connected. The last few years have been challenging, but they have shown us that when "things get tough, the artists get going!"

So, let's help these young artists...get going! Going to N.Y.C.!

Once there, Ella and Grace will participate in a week long residency with world-famous composer/conductor Eric Whitacre and perform as part of a 300-voice choir to debut Eric's new work "The Maji" at Carnegie Hall.

To get the girls to Carnegie, we need your help! There are many expenses involved with making this trip happen (airfare, hotel, meals, ground transportation, residency fee, and costuming). If you love music, if singing brings you joy, if you can imagine Ella and Grace standing on the stage of Carnegie Hall, singing their hearts out, then please donate! Any amount is felt as direct love as we continue to support our children's resilience and capacity to grow and shine.

Please share this GoFundMe on your social media and with others who may want to help Ella and Grace step onto the stage at Carnegie Hall. We are also actively looking for businesses that would be interested in sponsoring the girls. In thanks and gratitude,

The Martin Family

(Kira, Tom, Ella, Grace, and Sam)
