Become a Friend of the Festival

As a non-profit, The Four Lakes Traditional Music Collective relies completely on volunteers to make the Sugar Maple Music Festival and other events occur successfully every year. Our fans and supporters hail from every walk of life -- some able to support through volunteering time, others by offering financial assistance.

In the past, the Sugar Maple Music festival has only sought the contributions of business community, yet found many individuals wanting a way to contribute that did not involve promotional benefits. In the same light, we at FLTMC wanted to be sure to give our core supporters a way of supporting the festival regardless of if they were able to commit volunteer hours.

We have worked hard at outlining new "personal sponsorship" levels that would embrace everyone's diverse skills and available resources. Individuals have two options:

1. Purchase* a Wingra Friends personal sponsorship:
ENDOWMENT: $75 (cash only)
BENEFITS:
-Full weekend pass to this year's festival!
-Recognition in the Friends of the Festival section of the festival program.
-Mention on Friends of the Festival section of the festival web site.
-T-shirt, and other memorabilia from previous year's festival.
-Membership and discount admission prices to any paid Sugar Maple Concert Series and/or Workshop event through April 1, 2008.
-Your contribution is tax-deductible. Send your pledge to music @ fourlakesmusic.org and we will contact you, or pay directly online at BrownPaperTickets.com. Friends packages will then be available at Festival gate will call starting 1pm August 1, 2008.

2. Purchase a festival ticket in advance*, and volunteer at least two hours during the Sugar Maple Music Festival.
