Midlands Gives – Support CCS anytime between now and May 5, 2026
Midlands Gives, which occurs this year on Tuesday, May 5, is a day of giving to support nonprofits like the Columbia Choral Society. The Columbia Choral Society supports young vocal artists through the Guthrie Darr Young Artist Scholarship Program each year, which is supported through your contributions made during Midlands Gives. Through this scholarship program, we are able to help high school students develop and continue their independent study of vocal music. The scholarship is available to students who reside in Richland or Lexington Counties and are currently enrolled in high school in grades 10-12 or in an equivalent home-schooled program.
