Hi Everyone! My name is Valerie and I study voice at El Camino College in Gardena, California.

Last year, the choral group at my school received an invitation to sing Mozart's Coronation Mass at Carnegie Hall in New York on Memorial Day weekend this year.

It's so crazy to think that our choral group will be giving our best on the same stage as performers like Billie Holiday, Bowie and the Beatles!

It's surely what one could consider a once-in-a-lifetime dream, and a sacred memory.

Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the trip last year, like most of the full time students who set up payment plans.

In order to make this dream happen, I must make a deposit to the El Camino Foundation.

The estimated cost for the whole endeavor is $3500.00.

The breakdown includes the following:

If you are interested and in the position to help, please chip in whatever you can. I would be incredibly humbled and grateful if you would also share my goals with anyone you think might be keen to help.

Thank you very much for your time.

Love,

Valerie
