November 18, 2015

Thanks to you, our generous donors, we not only met our fundraising goal of $15,000, we exceeded it by $248! We look forward to supporting a wide variety of polka activities as we build this Polka Preservation Fund. In the very truest sense, we could not have done this without you. Thank you!

We've passed $10,000!

November 11, 2015

Thanks to our wonderful donors, we’ve passed the $10,000 mark in our fundraising campaign! Please tell all your friends; we need less than $5,000 to reach our $15,000 goal, and we have less than a week left.

Thanks for getting us past the halfway point!

November 04, 2015

Thanks to the generous support of many people, we are over halfway to our goal of $15,000! It's been a delight to see the enthusiastic support of the polka community. Please enjoy a word of thanks from the donor of the Vitek-Elsnic collection, Steve Harris, accompanied by some lovely music from the Then and Now CD!

And please help us keep spreading the word!
