How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference

Donations are a crucial source of funding for our band, the largest and oldest musical organization in the Valley. It costs several thousand dollars to put on each of our four annual concerts.

Here's where your Pick.Click.Give donation goes:

Music: Past selections range from Disney movie soundtracks and Glenn Miller big-band compositions to symphonic classics like the 1812 Overture and the Nutcracker Suite. Full band scores can cost hundreds of dollars.

Venue: Since 2015, we've performed at the Glenn Massay Theater at Mat-Su College — the best acoustic space in the borough. Donations help cover the cost of reserving the theater and transporting our percussion instruments and other equipment.

Instruments: A musical organization like ours relies on public support to purchase new instruments and repair existing ones. A new English horn, for example, can cost $10,000.

In 2009, the band became a nonprofit organization run by a nine-member board of directors. We've since received grants from respected organizations including the Mat-Su Health Foundation, the Alaska State Council on the Arts, the Rasmuson Foundation, and Matanuska Electric Association's Round Up program.

The Mat-Su deserves to be a place where talented, creative people can gather to make and hear beautiful music. Every donation makes a difference — thank you!
