Regina Music Festival Association 2017 Celebrating Excellence Knox-Metropolitan United Church 2340 Victoria Avenue, Regina, SK May 14, 2017 3:00 PM Master of Ceremonies, Robin Swales
The Regina Music Festival Association depends heavily on the donations of various organizations within Regina and on the generosity of people like you to maintain its unbroken record of annual festivals. The Festival costs approximately $60,000/year to put on. This includes the costs associated with hiring adjudicators, renting space, supplying instruments and equipment for performances, printing programs, operating the registration software, leasing of office space and all office supply costs. We receive only about 40% of this total from entry fees paid by participants. Entry fees are kept as low as possible to ensure the Festival is accessible to all. The balance of the budget comes from donations at the door, program sales, grants, and donations. The RMFA sincerely thanks our sponsors and donors for their generous financial support and gifts in kind. GOLD SPONSORS ($3500 for 5 years) Drs.
