Please support DC Boys Choir South Africa Tour organized by DC Boys Choir

Hello and thank you for visiting the D.C. Boys Choir's fundraising page! Our choir has been invited to perform at the American Celebration of Music in South Africa from July 9-21, 2018. This marks our choir's 25th year singing together throughout the United States and abroad. This opportunity to travel to South Africa proceeds a number of experiences afforded to the members of the D.C. Boys Choir, which have promoted cultural immersion and international exposure for the choir.
