Donate to Mountain Empire Children's Choral Academy

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for your partnership in growing our community of music. Your investment is creating lifelong musicians and leaders!

MECCA has strongly weathered the challenges of the past several years because our community believes in what we do. Now, as we look forward to our 40th year in 2027, your support helps us do more than survive—it helps us thrive and grow as we reach even more young musicians.

How are we growing?

• In the past year, we have added two new directors and two new accompanists.
• We have gone from receiving one small annual grant to consistently receiving multiple grants each year. 
• We have increased our number of singers by 30% since last fall. We have seen growth in all choirs, with the largest growth in our East Tennessee and Emory Virginia Children’s Choirs, which have increased by an astounding 56%!
• We are performing to standing-room only audiences!
• We have a national community of donors from coast to coast and north to south.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for financial support to be able to: 1) perform for more audiences in larger venues; 2) hire more staff to accommodate our growing choirs; 3) purchase music for our burgeoning ensembles; and 4) provide for everyone who wants to sing, not turning away anyone for financial reasons. 

When you invest in MECCA, you are ensuring that another generation of young people experiences the transformative power of music—from their first nervous audition to performing at Carnegie Hall, and beyond!

We look forward to singing for you this year!
