June 2019

Following months of preparation and planning, Trinity Cathedral’s Organ Repair Campaign launched at the beginning of May. Our efforts were intended to be broad and multi-faceted: public appeals, benefit concerts, grant writing, and an evening of food and entertainment comprised our fundraising activities. The campaign has now come to an end and I am thrilled to report that we have successfully met our goal of $55,000. In fact (although all the figures are not yet tallied), we have surpassed that mark!

I am humbled by the outpouring of support from the Phoenix community and the critical gifts of all amounts that made this campaign such an amazing success. There is a myriad of people to thank, most of all you who are reading this statement. Without the commitment and generosity of such a diverse cross-section of our community, this campaign would not have been possible. On behalf of Trinity Cathedral and the Phoenix musical community, I want to extend my personal thanks to each of you for your support of our campaign. We simply could not have done it without you.

A Blessing and Rededication of the cathedral organ is scheduled for February of next year. Much more information will be available in due course, but I hope that you will plan to attend at least one of our events celebrating the restoration of the cathedral organ. Thank you all so very much for your support.
