Support the North, Become a Champion
Support the 2026/2027 Season of
Northern Empire Performing Arts
Whether you marched, love music, or simply believe in the power of giving young people a place to belong, you understand the impact that the arts can have. Every rehearsal builds confidence. Every performance creates memories. Every season shapes the next generation of performers, leaders, and teammates. The members stepping onto the field this season are beginning that journey—and they need a community standing behind them.
Champions of the North is our booster club, and it's how alumni, families, and friends of the program keep our organization strong. Every dollar you give goes directly toward supporting our members: covering competition fees, uniforms, props, travel, and financial assistance for families who need a little extra help to make the season possible. As a Champion, you'll automatically receive a charitable tax receipt for your full season donation through CanadaHelps. That means your gift not only helps provide life-changing opportunities for young performers, but may also reduce your taxes when you file your return.
Support the next generation of performers. Invest in their future, and enjoy the tax benefits of giving. It's a win for everyone.
How it works? First, choose the sponsorship tier that's right for you. You can make your contribution as a one-time seasonal gift or spread it out with monthly payments. Either way, you'll be supporting our members throughout the entire 2026–2027 season, culminating in our summer home show where you'll see the program you helped build take the field.
Bronze Champion
$25/mo
Or $300 for the season
You're on the roster.
Bronze Champions get:
• One ticket to our summer home show
• Your name on the Champions of the North supporters page
• A Northern Empire Performing Arts car decal
• A year-end impact recap showing
exactly what your support built
• A full tax receipt for your $300 season gift
$300 covers three months of fees for a kid whose family is stretched thin. For context, that's the fundraising equivalent of grandma working three bingo shifts throughout the season... we all know she's earned those nights off.
Silver Champion
$50/mo
Or $600 for the season
You're closer to the action. Silver Champions get everything in Bronze, plus:
• A second ticket to our summer home show, so you can bring someone
• Reserved seating at the summer
home show
• Your name on the home show program
• A full tax receipt for your $600 season gift
$600 covers groceries for a full weekend band camp. For context, that's the fundraising equivalent of grandma working a week's worth of bingo shifts throughout the season... we'd rather have her at camp, cheering the kids on.
Gold Champion
$100/mo
Or $1,200 for the season
Your legacy goes wherever we go. Gold Champions receive everything in Silver, plus a unique opportunity to leave your mark on the organization:
• Your name is proudly displayed on our equipment truck, celebrating your support at every rehearsal, competition, and performance.
• A full tax receipt for your $1,200 season gift
$1,200 sponsors one member for an entire season. For context, that's the fundraising equivalent of grandma picking up so many bingo shifts throughout the season; they should probably just give her a nametag.
Become a Gold Champion by December 2026 to be commemorated on the truck.
There are lots of ways to become a Champion. Not every supporter is able to commit to a sponsorship tier, and that's okay. One-time donations of any amount, and other forms of support are just as meaningful. Visit our Support Us page to discover all the ways you can help make this season possible.
