2017 Spring2ACTion 
results

On April 5th, you let us know that you want our Philharmonic orchestra, two youth orchestras, summer concert series and composition competition to thrive. Thanks to all of you we raised over $34,000 during the campaign! That is the highest amount of all 14 of the Arts organizations participating in the campaign. And WMPA was 8th overall in raising funds among all 158 non-profits participating in Spring2ACTion 2017. Additionally, we were the 2nd most successful arts organization in number of unique donors, winning a $1000 prize sponsored by Spring4ART and a $500 prize for one of the "power hours."
 
This was the most successful fundraiser in the 45 year history of our organization, and we owe it all to you.  We are living, breathing music and bringing it to the community with your support. Thank you!
