Donations

Together we will preserve the beautiful opera art form. We rely on contributions from individuals and the corporate community to bring professional, world-class opera to Iroquois County.

Volunteer

The backbone of all non-profit organizations is its volunteer corps. Sugar Creek Opera needs people of all ages to help with a myriad of activities that range from helping with mailings, housing artists during rehearsal and performance time periods, helping with promotional activities, to helping to greet and seat patrons during our performances. Each volunteer becomes an integral part of Sugar Creek Opera and is instrumental in helping us to focus our financial resources on our Mission of performing world-class, professional opera.

If you would like to help or want to find out more, call our box office at 815.432.3830 or email general director, Helen Todd at helentodd@sugarcreekopera.com. We would love for you to join us in our work to sustain and enrich the families we serve.
