Athens Orchestra Home

The Athens Orchestra Parent Association (AOPA) welcomes our new and returning musicians to another year of beautiful music. AOPA is a parent and community-supported non-profit organization, whose purpose is to help support the orchestra program at Athens High School.

AOPA is a tax-exempt, nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) organization. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Your assistance is needed to make this a successful event for the orchestras as they prepare to go to New York City! Volunteers to solicit silent auction items are needed now. A donation letter and acquisition form are available by clicking the links below. Please help.

Kroger card fundraiser

This ongoing program is so simple and earns the orchestra program thousands of dollars per year and all you need to do is your regular grocery shopping. It costs the shopper nothing extra. Think about it-if you spend $100 on groceries each week then AOPA would receive $5 each week. If just half our families participated that would equal about $250 each week. This could greatly reduce the cost of the trip and camp and pay for a number of things the musicians need.

Pickup a Kroger Gift Card from AOPA; it comes with $5
(Since it contains $5, we need to ask you for $5)

Load the card prior to shopping
(Yes ! You can still earn those points on your credit card, too.)

Just see us before any orchestra performance, we will be distributing cards or contact Lynn Khadra at 248-879-8631.

You can show your support of the Athens Orchestra Program by joining The Athens Orchestra Parent Association (AOPA) today. As we are a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, your donation may be tax deductible.
