WE BELIEVE IN GRCB!
Dear GRCB Community!
The We Believe Tour has started and it has us excited for the next tour stops! Thank you to everyone who has supported GRCB! At our March Adult Session we launched the We Believe in GRCB $100K fundraiser to secure GRCB for 2023 and beyond. We hope you’ll continue to be part of the wonderful and awesome community of GRCB - NOW is the time to invest in GRCB. We Believe in GRCB and we know you do too!
COLLABORATION
We are extremely thankful for our partnership with The Record Co., which has provided us with access to a state of the art space for our youth and adult sessions. This partnership inspires us to bring our creative energies to new heights and live out our mission of empowering girls, women, and gender expansive youths and adults to believe in themselves by building a supportive community that fosters self-expression, confidence, and collaboration through music education and performance.
INCLUSIVITY
Soon, we will announce a new name, and we are thankful for the youth-led and community-centered Youth Name Change Committee (YNCC) which has engaged more than 230 voices of our community in a thoughtful process over the course of several months! Stay tuned for the big announcement and an invitation to the party!
CREATIVITY
GRCB needs your help to continue to keep transforming lives this year and beyond. Like many small nonprofits and especially those that depended on in-person programming as a primary source of income, GRCB was hit hard financially by the pandemic. While some COVID restrictions were lifted last year, we face new financial challenges as a result and are impacted by a slow recovery to the Boston music scene. There are many ways you can help!
Sponsorships: Do you work for or know of a business that would be interested in sponsoring the We Believe Tour? Sponsorship opportunities begin at $2000.
Become a Beat Keeper! Join our Beat Keepers and become a monthly donor. This allows GRCB to have secure and predictable monthly income between our main program sessions. Join our Beat Keepers who give $15 - 50+/month.
Help spread the message of GRCB and support scholarships for youth to attend this summer!
Buy limited edition merch from the GRCB Bonfire Store.
EXPRESSION
We are beyond thankful to all the volunteers who have given their time, sweat and countless YOU ROCKs throughout the year! In 2022 more than 100 volunteers supported programming and the organization. From instrument instruction and band managing to slinging merch and hauling gear - and everything in between, above, and beyond: THANK YOU. Thank you for everything that allows youth and adults to play any kind of music they want and be part of the magic of GRCB.
JOY
