Symphony launches 'Transformation'

With a grant from longtime patron Gerald Morgan Jr., the Richmond Symphony has launched a "2010: Transformation" fund-raising campaign to secure its financial well-being in the coming decade.

Morgan will match, up to $50,000, the amount donated by the first 200 businesses or individuals making first-time donations or purchasing ticket subscriptions for the first time. This challenge grant's deadline is May 31.

The campaign's ultimate goal is to attract 2,010 new supporters this year.
