Donations Gratefully Accepted

BCC is a non profit organization that relies on financial support to pay for many of the choir’s expenses such as the purchase of music, hall rental, musician fees, posters, and the like. Our only fundraising is through the two yearly concerts. Admission to our concerts have remained at a low price and BCC would greatly appreciate any additional monetary contributions. Thank you.  BCC_Donation_poster

Happy New Year 2023!
