WHY DONATIONS MATTER

Your contributions are the heartbeat of Oakridge Concerts in the Park.

Your support directly enables us to:

  • Book higher quality performers from a broader range of musical genres
  • Maintain and improve the sound system and stage at Greenwaters Park
  • Provide accessible facilities and services for all concert-goers
  • Keep concerts free for everyone in our community
  • Fund youth music education initiatives through our community outreach programs
