 STATUS TOWARD CHALLENGE as of June 30, 2010: $8.044 million To all who purchased tickets and to our 3,900+ donors who made gifts to the Symphony this year: You did it! I am very pleased to announce that the North Carolina Symphony has reached its $8 million goal, meeting the challenge offered by the North Carolina legislature for the 2009-10 season. Through your gifts and support, the Symphony is on a stronger financial footing now than it was one year ago. Reaching this $8 million goal this season means that the Symphony has balanced its books for the 2009-10 season and has reduced its accumulated operating deficit by nearly $1 million. THANK YOU for all you have done to get us to this point. We are delighted to celebrate this milestone with you! Our work is not done, however. While we continue to present the exciting concert series, outstanding artistry and renowned guest artists that you have come to expect from your Symphony, we move forward under a reduced operating budget. This is critical to ensuring our long-term ability to provide the people, communities and businesses of this great state with unsurpassed cultural opportunities. In helping us meet this $8 million challenge, you have proven how much you value the Symphony’s place in the cultural life of North Carolina. Take a well-deserved bow for your remarkable efforts—you deserve a standing ovation! With gratitude, David Chambless Worters President & CEO Read the recent article about the Symphony's finances in the N&O. |
