Donate to the Blue Ridge Music Center
Gifts to support programming at the Blue Ridge Music Center are vital to keeping the sounds of the mountains alive at this major attraction on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Your donation will help ensure that the summer concert series, exhibits, and additional events can continue telling the story of the rich musical traditions of the region.
If you donate $250 or more towards this project you will receive a special commemorative patch (pictured). For those who donate $500 or more, they will receive the patch plus a Blue Ridge Music center poster designed by Logan Schmidt.
Legal Disclaimer:Â I certify that my donation does not seek to unduly influence the National Park Service, identify the NPS with tobacco or any illegal products, generate controversy, harm public confidence, or circumvent Federal regulations or ethics rules. I am not involved in litigation with the Department of the Interior or its bureaus.
Gift Use Disclaimer: I understand that if a project is fully funded or unduly delayed, my donation may be invested in a related effort. (This situation is rare, but this approach ensures that we put your funds to work as quickly as possible to benefit Parkway resources and visitors. Please contact us with any questions.)
