Howdy everyone!
The Lone Star Cowboy Poetry Gathering is proud of what we spend on our performers, attempting to pay them a fair wage for their work, time, and energy. Our total budget for 2024 topped $300,000, of which more than $125,000 was paid in fees and $15,000 in lodging for 40+ performers.
But it's always a challenge to come up with those funds. That's where our Performers Fund comes in. We hope you might be willing to help us with an end-of-year gift.
Thanks to a TRIPLE match pool of $52,520 built over the last few months by a number of generous donations, your gift will go three times as far! That means $25 becomes $75, and $250 grows to $750.
Check out the gray bar on the chart on our donation page. That's the match pool, waiting to be filled. Can you help?
Happy holidays, and best wishes for 2025. See you in Alpine in February!
All the best,
Kay and Gene Nowell
