Help Us Reach Our Goal!



As our 40th anniversary season begins to wind down, we are challenging our community to participate in a unique matching campaign.

MoneyA group of local music lovers has generously committed $25,000 to this challenge, and if our community can make donations up to this amount before June 30, 2013, every dollar will be matched!


That's right: for every $1 that you donate, our sponsors will make an equal contribution, up to a total of $25,000!


A donation of any dollar amount would be greatly appreciated.  We are happy to acknowledge your donation on our website and in our next concert’s program, (unless you prefer otherwise), and all donations of $25.00 or more are tax-deductible.



Did you like Cirque de la Symphonie, Singin' in the Rain, and Filmharmonic?  As a small non-profit group, we rely heavily on support from our community to continue to provide these incredible events for your enjoyment.  



Want to help us out?  Donations in Canadian and US funds can be made online here by clicking on the "Donate" icon below:





Prefer a cash or cheque donation?  Drop by our office, or mail to:


The Sault Symphony Association

121 Brock Street

Sault Ste. Marie, ON

P6A 3B6


Please make cheques payable to the Sault Symphony Association.


Thanks to the generosity of patrons like you, we have already surpassed the $11,000 mark!  But, we've still got a long way to go to reach our goal of $25,000 for our sponsors to match, so please keep the donations coming!  


Thank you
