Fundraisers
Many ways to support the Phil.
One way is by participating in one of our annual fundraisers! These fundraisers help offset costs associated with bringing high-quality traditional choral music.
The Phil runs three fundraisers a year:
Poinsettia Plant Sale
Grocery Gift Card Sale
Spring Plant Sale
Spring Plant Sale – SALE IS ON NOW! DEADLINE IS APRIL 15th.
(yearly March)
We partner yearly with Glenlea Greenhouses for our Spring Plant Sale. Glenlea Greenhouses offers top-quality plants at competitive prices, with fundraising selections including annuals, perennials, vegetables and herbs. For the balcony or window box gardener, they offer beautiful hanging baskets and mixed containers, or you can create your own from a gorgeous selection of container plants. Opulent pots of fall chrysanthemums can be ordered at the same time for delivery after Labour Day. If you are interested in plants that aren’t among the fundraising options, consider ordering plant cards; these can be used to shop in person at the retail location just south of Winnipeg or at the Glenlea booth at local farmers’ markets (see Glenlea website).
Please share the link (2024 Spring Fundraiser Home Page – Glenlea Greenhouses) with friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. Depending on how much we sell, The Phil can expect to receive 20-25% (before tax) of the value of all plant sales and 15% ($3.75 each) on gift cards, the plants are terrific quality, and you’ll be supporting a local, family-run business as well as the Phil.
You can order online anytime now, but note that each year, some items sell out before the deadline. So order early and order often! Deadline for orders is April 15th.
If you have any questions or need any further information please email: FlowersforthePhil@gmail.com
Thanks for your support!
Grocery Gift Card Sale
ORDER DEADLINE IS TUESDAY, APRIL 2nd.
You already buy groceries – and by changing the way you pay for them you can also support your Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir! Our Grocery Gift Card Sale is up and running for the fall. These cards can be used at Sobeys/Safeway/Freshco and IGA.
Order any combination of cards in amounts of $10, $25, $50, $100, or $250. To place your order, email chorister Linda Feasby at lindaf1@mymts.net who will take your information and give you payment options and delivery information.
The grocery card fundraiser is held twice a year - in November/December and March/April.
The Grocery Gift Card Sale is now on!
Poinsettia Plant Sale – Fall (yearly November/December)
The Phil has sold premium poinsettia plants from Vanderveen's Nursery for many years. Both small (6-inch pots) and large (10-inch pots) are available for purchase. Plant varieties for small come in red, white, and pink with the large pot variety coming in red, white, or tri-colored.
