The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra is getting some help in balancing its budget for the current fiscal year, but it’s going to have to work for it.

 

The Baird Foundation has announced a challenge grant that will pay the orchestra a dollar for each dollar the orchestra raises, up to $50,000, from now to the end of the fiscal year Aug. 31.

 

“On the eve of the BPO’s 75th anniversary, the foundation trustees have committed to a special gift to help the BPO continue its positive progress,” said Catherine Schweitzer, the foundation’s executive director.

 

For information or to make a donation, call Robert Pape at 885-0331, Ext. 405, or e-mail rpape@bpo.org .
