Thank you to NBC Palm Springs for the Feature on PSGMC's "Chorus Cares" Toy & Gift Drive for Martha's Village and Kitchen. Kudos to all of our hardworking volunteers that made it happen.

Great team effort in the success of the "Chorus Cares" Toy & Gift Drive for Martha's Village and Kitchen leading up to Christmas. Special thanks go out to Bill Butler, Outreach Chair; George Nasci-Sinatra, MVK and all of the incredible PSGMC volunteers who made it all happen.

What a thrill seeing Martha’s Village & Kitchen’s Community Center filled to the brim with toys for kids and teens. 4 car loads of toys and gift cards were dropped off. NBC Palm Springs (CH 13) covered the event and will air it tonight, Monday, December 21 at 5:00pm and 6:00pm.

Good Morning Everyone and Merry Christmas! Bloom in the Desert has been a great partner of PSGMC, so let's show them our support. Register for this FREE event or drive by and see 650 luminaria in the Palm Springs Cultural Center parking lot starting at 5:30p.m. on Christmas Eve. Visit www.BloomintheDesert.org.

Huge Kudos to Bill Butler and Tom Brady and all of the Outreach supporters for our Chorus Cares Kids Holiday Gift and Toy Drive. We brought in 400+ toys for youth and teens, raised approx $600 in gift cards and another $300+ in cash donations and an incredible Specialized touring bike. Our hearts are full and we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for Martha’s Village and Kitchen and for the Palm Springs Gay Men’s Chorus. Even with all of the challenges in 2020, PSGMC had an amazing year! We have much to be grateful for. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

National AIDS Memorial Grove in San Francisco Golden Gate Park on Nancy Pelosi Drive. PSGMC contributed to this momentous landmark area several years ago. Sometimes it’s important to remind ourselves why we sing. We sing for the people we’ve lost. We sing to empower others. We sing for those who cannot sing. We sing to lift the world with song!
