“The cdcc board treasurer heads up the process, and ultimately completes the paperwork and files the report. The treasurer works with the executive director to verify the content and intent of programming. Once the paperwork is completed, the 990 is reviewed by another board member, and then finally provided to the cdcc board of directors.”

“During the fiscal year ending 6/30/2025, there were 280 singers ranging in age from 6 to 18 years old. Our annual fundraiser, crescendo of care, included a cash raffle, a fundraising event at pizza ranch and free public performance at a local mall. With a smaller graduating class of 14 seniors, we held the annual banquet at sixteen03 main event. The evening included senior awards, as well as alumni speakers, recognition of karen traeholt and performance by local group avora. We continued to collaborate with bps sips concerts and the bismarck civic chorus. We held our annual kick-off celebration at balancing goat in mandan and awarded our 3rd merit-based martel scholarship. We again offered music classes for 1st and 2nd graders. Due to overwhelming positive response last season, we again recorded our annual live outreach concert series for area 2nd and 3rd graders and distributed a link to the concert recording to area public, private and home schools. We were excited to welcome dr. Dean jilek to conduct our angelica and cantus choirs for the season.”
