SoC'S ANNUAL HOLIDAY FUND DRIVE

November 2012

This holiday season, many Chicagoland theatre companies are raising funds for those in our community in need by participating in SoC's Annual Holiday Fund Drive. Throughout the city and the suburbs, theatres are raising funds for SoC through post-show Audience Solicitations.

If you are involved with a production that is currently running, please consider having your show collect for SoC. A large percentage of the annual funds raised for SoC come from Audience Solicitations collected in November and December. The more theaters that participate in our Holiday Fund Drive, the more funds we raise and the financial support we can provide for people in need.

To learn more about having your production collect audience donations for SoC, email SoC Executive Director Stephen Rader at stephen@seasonofconcern.org or call our office at 312-332-0518.
