Season 23 Sponsorship Opportunities
The Cincinnati Men's Chorus (CMC) is a voluntary, not-for-profit community chorus organized to
provide the opportunity for gay men and gay-supportive men to sing together.
Our Mission:
Through our music, we strive for excellence; support and nurture our members;
entertain our audiences; and work for justice, inclusion and harmony between the gay
community and the community at large.
The chorus seeks to provide social and fellowship experiences that reach beyond the realm of
musical purpose to deepen and enrich our lives. Further, we provide opportunities to present a
positive image of the gay community to the general public by being identified as an
organization of individuals who are making a contribution to the entire community.
None of this is possible without the continued support of our donors and sponsors.
We are currently looking for sponsors for our 23rd Season. All concerts are held at the School for
Creative & Performing Arts in Downtown Cincinnati and draw approximately 600 people per
Concert weekend. The marketing of our concerts, which prominently features our sponsors,
reaches approximately 275,000 people across the tri state region.
We hope you will consider sponsoring the Cincinnati Men’s Chorus. If you would like any further
information or would like to discuss possible opportunities, please do not hesitate to reach out to
me at [email protected]
Thank you for your interest in the Cincinnati Men’s Chorus
