LAKEWOOD RANCH WIND ENSEMBLE
we welcome your donations
Members of the Lakewood Ranch Wind Ensemble perform with professional orchestras and ensembles throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties, including the Venice Symphony Orchestra and The Pops Orchestra of Sarasota Bradenton where they are compensated for their services. However, because of their love for the wind band idiom, they are willing to offer their professional-level skills pro-bono.
The Lakewood Ranch Wind Ensemble, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Florida as a 501(c)3 organization and welcomes support from donors. All contributions are considered tax deductible. The funds that we receive, either from concert performances or contributions, will be used to offset expenses incurred for performances, including venue insurance, percussion instruments, and the purchase of new and exciting music.
Additionally, the Lakewood Ranch Wind Ensemble will continue to seek out and support student music organizations and other select charities.

CHAIR SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM



The Lakewood Ranch Wind Ensemble is proud to introduce our Chair Sponsorship Program—an opportunity for individuals, families, and businesses to directly support the musicians and artistic growth of the ensemble. Through this program, sponsors may choose to support the conductor's podium or chair within the ensemble, helping offset expenses related to music purchases, percussion equipment, venue costs, guest artists, and future educational outreach initiatives.
As an all-volunteer organization performing at a professional level, the ensemble relies on the generosity of supporters who value high-quality live music and the important role the arts play within the community. Chair Sponsorships provide a meaningful way to invest in the continued growth and sustainability of the organization while helping us expand our audience and artistic offerings.
Each chair sponsorship is exclusive, with only one sponsor recognized per chair during the concert season. This creates a unique opportunity for donors to establish a lasting connection with the ensemble and directly support the musicians and sections that make each performance possible.
Sponsors may also receive recognition in concert programs, digital media, and special events as the program continues to develop.
