ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN
Ken Wistrom
President - Naples Concert Band
Dear Friends of the
Naples Concert Band,
For over 50 years, the Naples Concert Band has been a source of joy, inspiration, and connection in our community. From the stirring sounds of our brass section to the delicate melodies of our woodwinds, our free concerts have brought families, friends, and neighbors together to share in the universal language of music.
But behind the music lies a pressing need.
​ As you may know, the Naples Concert Band operates entirely on the generosity of our supporters. While our musicians and volunteers dedicate countless hours to their craft, the reality is that we face a $15,000 annual deficit before accounting for essential capital expenses, such as percussion instruments, audio systems and other basic hardware equipment. In order to sustain our tradition of free concerts and ensure the Band’s financial future, we need your help.
That is why we are launching the Naples Concert Band Endowment Campaign, with the goal of raising $650,000 over the next two years. This fund will secure the Band’s solvency for decades to come, providing a stable financial foundation so we can continue to enrich our community without compromise.
Your generosity not only supports the music you love but also reinforces our shared commitment to making Naples a vibrant cultural hub. Together, we can ensure that the Naples Concert Band continues to thrive, inspiring hearts and minds through music for many years to come.
Every dollar invested in this campaign secures the Band’s future for generations. Please join us in building this legacy by making a tax-deductible gift today.
Thank you for being a part of our story. Your gift will make a difference not just today, but for decades into the future.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Ken Wistrom, NCB President
