The Fundraising Gala
This fundraising event was initiated, produced and fully managed by our
Chicago-based fundraising angel, Mrs. Leni Stojchevski.
Through her excellent PR skills and fundraising talent, the event raised $15,000.00 for the specific goal of sponsoring a half hour film about Macedonian cultural arts, entitled The Colors of Macedonia. The film was commissioned
from the Arts Council by the PBS affiliate KOCE-TV (channel 50), a PBS member television station licensed to Huntington Beach, California, United States, serving the Los Angeles area. It was produced by the in-house travel writer/producer
Peter Murphy. The Macedonian Arts Council had no creative input in the piece and provided only logistical support for the trip to Macedonia.
The Colors of Macedonia aired on KOCE’s TV s multiple times, and it is estimated that about four million people saw the film. Filmed in SD, it is available to be screened, curtesy of the Art Council -
