We Need Your Support!
Anna Crusis is more than just an excellent musical ensemble. The choir is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to social change and empowerment through music. The Choir is committed to reaching diverse audiences including people and communities that have little access to the arts. We rely on individual donations in order to bring the music to our mission!
Anna has performed for Project Home, Habitat for Humanity, Congreso de Latinos Unidos, the Maternity Care Coalition, the Support Center for Child Advocates and many AIDS awareness groups. We do workshops with women in the Philadelphia prison system, and we also support the work of other progressive social justice organizations by singing at benefits and fundraisers.
Many of the organizations and communities we serve have limited financial resources and are unable to afford performance fees. Your contribution will help us pay for the music, staff salaries, production costs and various expenses we incur to perform and operate. A donation of any amount will go a long way towards helping us continue our work.
