Providence Singers launches Online Auction and Fundraiser

On Monday, June 1st, 2020, Providence Singers officially launched its Online Auction, its last fundraiser of the season. Open to bids until Sunday, June 7th, supporters can browse gift certificates, locally crafted treats, original art, and more, with all proceeds to help the Singers produce virtual music experiences for the community.

"This event started out as part of our Broadway at the Biltmore gala, a concert of musical theatre favorites followed by a silent auction," says executive director Elaine Cunningham. "Originally scheduled for March 28, the gala would have been this season's major fundraiser. Fortunately, we were able to reschedule the concert to May 14, 2021, and we're bringing the silent auction to the community as an online event."

A few featured items for the Singers Auction include:

• New York Broadway Getaway package includes a $500 gift Broadway.com gift certificate, good for any ticket they sell, plus a night at a Marriott hotel and and Visa card for travel and dining expenses.
• Walking Cove, an original painting by Rhode Island artist Mary Dondero.
• A year of coffee from Coffee Exchange in Providence, one pound every month for a year.
• Mark of the Dragonfly and three other autographed books for middle readers by New York Times bestselling author Jaleigh Johnson.

Providence Singers is deeply grateful to all the organizations and individual patrons who donated items and experiences; click here to browse the auction.
