  • Comment and engage with BYSO’s videos on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

We thank you for your continued dedication to Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra’s music education programs. We cannot do this without you. If you have any questions about how to best support the Garden Party, please contact Kevin Vortmann at executivedirector@byso.org.

 

Sample Student E-mail Invitation

Dear [Friend of BYSO],

As you may know, I am a member of the Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra. Our 2021-22 Season has been an incredible year for BYSO – mostly defined by our return to live and in-person classes and concerts! Our Garden Party Fundraiser is coming up, and I would like to ask you to be a part of it! Starting April 18 through May 15, student and staff performances will be posted to our website, Facebook, and YouTube channel.

The Garden Party’s financial goal is to raise $30,000 for student scholarships, hiring staff, and simply keeping programs going, but also have a participation goal: sharing our music to as many people as possible. I hope you’ll join us online!

Sincerely,

[Your name]
