Volunteers - Spokane Symphony Associates (SSA)
Our organization is totally and exclusively committed to the belief that our outstanding Spokane Symphony Orchestra must be supported in every way possible. We know that no arts organization can survive, much less excel, with the proceeds from ticket sales alone. Therefore, an important function of SSA is to raise money to help support our orchestra. In 2007-08, we contributed $198,000 to this end. In addition, we provide volunteer assistance where needed in the orchestra's education programs, subscription campaigns, etc.
