Tuition Raffle at Concerts

BYSO’s second annual Tuition Raffle has officially begun! This year, we are excited to announce that two lucky participants will win free tuition next year for their student. To enter, purchase $10 raffle tickets at the Winter Concerts this weekend or at the BYSO office during regular business hours. Cash is preferred, so come prepared!

By purchasing a raffle ticket (or several!) not only do you have the chance to win, but you are also showing your support of BYSO. All proceeds benefit BYSO’s scholarships and program services in order to keep making musical experiences affordable to all youth.

We are also looking for volunteers to help sell raffle tickets at the Winter Showcase and Masterworks Concerts this Sunday, March 10. All volunteers get first choice in seating at the concert. Visit our volunteer calendar to sign up.
