2009 Friends of the Pops Grand Prize Drawing

Your "Friends of the Pops" donation is good for the Tucson Pops and fun for you!  You might ask, "Well, what do I get for my contribution?"  Your contribution, along with those of our sponsors, makes possible the orchestra's series of ten free concerts at Reid Park.  Without your personal support, the concerts would be lost.

To add some fun for you, each week Friends of the Pops donors are entered into a drawing for lunches or dinners for two at local restaurants and other prizes.

Friends of the Pops memberships begin at $20.00 and receive drawing entries for each $10 increment—2 for $20, 5 for the $50 patron, and 10 for the $100 chair sponsorship.  Entries are kept in the drawing pool for the spring and fall seasons as well as for our Grand Prize drawing, which occurs at our last concert.   

The grand prize includes accommodations for two at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina provided by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.   In addition, the grand prize includes a cash award of $300.00, to be used for transportation of your choice—airfare or automobile.

  Check out the various Friends of the Pops programs on the "Friends of the Pops" panel in this program.  If you wish to become a member of the Friends of the Pops, please stop by our booths located stage right and stage left of the band shell, or mail your donation to TUCSON POPS ORCHESTRA, P. O. Box 14545, Tucson, AZ  85732-4545. 

Take home a souvenir by purchasing a Tucson Pops Orchestra T-shirt.  Drop by our Friends' booths at intermission or after the concert.  We appreciate your help!
