Please help us meet September’s Bethlehem Bach at Noon Donation Challenge!
As September begins, we celebrate the beautiful transition from summer to fall. It’s a time of new beginnings, from the excited voices of school children to the welcome return of our Bach at Noon concerts here at Central Moravian Church.
We have an extra reason to celebrate this month and especially today. as we mark the birthday of our exceptional Executive Director, Leela Breithaupt. In honor of Leela’s special day and her love of these free concerts, Fritz Breithaupt has generously offered to match up to $1,500 of your Bach at Noon gifts. All gifts will help us achieve the goal, but if you’re curious and want your gift to “match” her age, consider a gift a little over $50! We invite you to join us in wishing Leela a happy birthday and a wonderful year ahead!
