Donate to Help Ross Strauser Create His Second Jazz Orchestra Album, organized by Ross Michael Strauser

I am thrilled to announce the recording of my second jazz orchestra album, “Going to the Sun”! I am asking for the generous support of my family, friends, colleagues, and everyone in between to help make this project a reality. My goal is to create a quality album of my latest compositions to use for competition applications, grants, commissions, and most importantly, for you! You can check out some of my work at rossstrausermusic.com With CD sales disappearing and no record label support, the costs of recording projects like this are overwhelming. This is a 17+ member jazz orchestra so believe it or not, $10,000 will barely cover the cost of artist and engineer fees. -Artist Fees -Recording Studio -Editing -Mixing -Mastering -CD Manufacturing -Publicity -Album Graphic Design -Licensing Fees -Etc. Every single donation will help immensely to cover each of these costs. Please share this fundraiser after you donate as each view will help me get closer to my goal! I have exclusive rewards to encourage your donations! Be sure to send me your email address if you'd like to receive your reward or get updates directly from me. Please note that if you do not contact me, I will assume you are just making a donation and you will not receive your reward. You can pick any reward below your tier if you prefer.

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

• Increased Visibility: By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our platform, we help increase the visibility of various fundraising campaigns. This additional exposure can attract more donors and supporters, helping campaigns achieve their goals more quickly.

• Cross-Promotional Opportunities: Highlighting campaigns from GoFundMe allows us to support a broader spectrum of causes and connect with a wider audience. This cross-promotion benefits both the campaign organizers and potential donors looking for causes to support.

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

• Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.

• Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks

• Broader Donor Base: Featuring a variety of campaigns from different platforms helps diversify and expand the donor base. This means more people can learn about and contribute to a variety of causes, ultimately driving higher engagement and donations.

• Enhanced Outreach: By integrating GoFundMe content, we help campaigns tap into new networks and communities, broadening their reach and potential impact.

How We Help Other GoFundMe Campaigns Grow

1. Featured Campaigns Section

Many of these causes are displayed on our website to provide donors with a wide range of options to support.
