WE INVITE YOU TO BE A BENEFACTOR!
We cordially invite you to support Latvian cultural events and educational programs by purchasing
Labvēļu (Benefactor) tickets for the Latvian Independence Day celebration in New
York! You will have preferred seating and your name (or that of your
business) printed in the program. More importantly, your donation will
allow the Council of American-Latvian Organizations of New York (CALNY) to continue sponsoring Latvian theater
performances, concerts and other cultural events for the Greater New York
Latvian community. These events benefit
not only audiences locally but they provide opportunities for artists from Latvia to perform
abroad and broaden their perspectives. Travel expenses, US visas and other costs cannot always be covered from admission
fees alone.
The CALNY also donates to cultural, educational and youth projects both within the New York area and
elsewhere - also in Latvia.
Therefore please consider becoming a Benefactor.
Your donation to the Latvian Independence Day event will
support Latvian culture, education and youth all year!
