As a not-for-profit organization, MUSE relies heavily on individual contributions from our generous supporters and fans. These fans already became Friends of MUSE for the 2008-2009 Season. Or consider donating a service or tangible item for our next Silent Auction. Donating to MUSE helps us pay for musical commissions, development and operating expenses. In other words-

Help support the music, the meaning,
the (wo)manpower that goes behind all we do.

Donate an Item or Service for the MUSE Biennial Silent Auction

We are currently accepting tangible items or services for our next silent auction in Spring 2009. Some examples of donated auction items in the past are: handmade jewelry and garments, massage certificates, art work, local event tickets, flying to dinner in a Cessna, a refrigerator full of snack and beer for game day. Use your imagination and generosity to help make the next Silent Auction an exciting evening, while helping MUSE.

If you'd like to donate something for the auction, please let us know. Visit our contact page.
