Dear
Friend of the Chorus:
We
would like to invite you to advertise in the concert programs for our 28th
Season: everything gAy to Z! Your support provides this award-winning,
225-member Chorus with the necessary resources to deliver performances that
entertain, affirm and educate about the gay experience through magnificent
musical performances. Ticket revenue
accounts for only 25% of our annual income — the remainder comes from contributions,
donations and the generous support of our advertising partners.
As
you will see in the links below, we have our full season advertising
subscription available for a discounted rate of 25% off the total cost of
advertising in all three performance programs.
And new this year, we our offering our advertisers an additional
opportunity to reach our season subscribers through a coupon book (full details
on the Rate Card).
baby, it's gAy outside!
