Music Parents Support Group (MPSG) At A Glance

Did You Know?
  •  Fundraising events (large and small) raise over $50,000 each year
  •  Over 250 volunteers are involved with over 40 fundraising and musical events throughout the year
  • Music Nights are our largest fundraisers and involve over 400 hours of volunteer efforts (before, during and after)
  •   The Music Parents Support Group also assists the Grade 12 Graduation committee in their various fundraising efforts, which primarily help towards the “end-of-year” Grade 12 Recital
Fundraising and Donations + Volunteering = SUCCESS
In addition to the fundraising and volunteering for events, there are countless other opportunities to get involved. We thank our parents who have supported the Music Program by: building shelves for instruments, designing tickets and posters, organizing international trips, taking photos at Music Night, delivering and distributing Fundscrip orders, hemming gowns – the list is long and the support has been amazing.
