"Best Friends" Donations

Become a CGMC "Best Friends" Donor or Leave a Legacy with Planned Giving!

The Chicago Gay Men's Chorus produces much more than beautiful music and wacky entertainment - we provide community outreach, education, goodwill and a positive GLBT image that shines far beyond Chicago.

Join one of our "Best Friends" Donor's Circles today and help us continue performing well into the future.

Not only will you keep our concerts strong, but you'll also help us continue singing at Wrigley Field, area high schools, parades and many other community-based events and benefits.
