PSGMC Outreach Chair:
“At this particular time, we are not able to do the thing we do best and are most passionate about, singing together in person. In response to our community, we are using our vast energy and our membership consisting of over 115 to help the Coachella Valley in a way that is safe for everyone. PSGMC is thrilled to unveil “Chorus Cares” to help our communities who have the greatest needs. We anticipate that this first initiative, our School Supplies Drive, to help 2 elementary schools, one each from the Palm Springs Unified and Desert Sands Unified school districts will be a great success,” said Bill Butler.
