Give $5 and we will put your name on a banner at every outdoor "Summer of Music" event. We give you a shout out and dedicate one song at each event to our donors - come to the events and see which song has your name on it! Come to all 5 festival shows and get a one year membership to the cinema (which admits you to all the Maysles Cinema screenings for free).

Give $25 and we will give you a one year cinema membership card (a $50 value) and include your name on the festival banner. Also if you bring a friend with you to all 5 festival shows they will get a free membership card too!

SPECIAL REWARD: Get a "Doin' It in The Park" poster signed by Bobbito García (there are a limited number, so get your poster today). As an added bonus, you get a membership to the Maysles Cinema!

For $50 you can attend a special screening with Albert Maysles (we will have 3 dates so that you can choose one that works for you). We will show one of Albert's films and he will discuss it afterward.

Give $100 and Albert Maysles will call you - ask him about his 60 years of experience as a legendary documentary filmmaker or about his latest project or your latest project. You will also get all of the rewards above.

Your $500 pledge lets you make the cinema yours for an evening (4 hours) - invite up to 25 of your friends and show your favorite film. Plug in music downstairs and have a dance party. You will also receive all of the above rewards.

Your $1,000 pledge will not only pay for one Adult (Documentary Filmmaking) Class tuition fee at the institute, but you will get a special 30 minute meeting with Albert Maysles to discuss your vision and film career. You will also receive all of the rewards above.

Your $5,000 pledge entitles you to a complementary and delicious lunch with Albert Maysles at Red Rooster during which you can leisurely ask him about meeting (and filming) some of the most fascinating people of the 20th and 21st century - or whatever you like. Chef and owner Marcus Samuelsson will stop by your table and personally thank you for your pledge. You will also get everything above.
