Double Your Impact with The Gerry & Sherry Cohen Walking Together Match

Your generosity can inspire even greater change for Boston Lyric Opera.

The Gerry & Sherry Cohen Walking Together Match is a $200,000 challenge designed to amplify the support of BLO’s donors this season. First-time gifts and increased contributions from current donors made between November 10, 2024, and January 31, 2025, will be matched, doubling the power of your generosity. Together, we can make opera accessible, vibrant, and deeply connected to our community. Join us in taking the next step forward.

First-time donors: Up to $1,000 of first-time gifts over $250 are doubled. Current donors: Gifts in excess of your last gift will be doubled, up to $25,000. The incremental portion of your new gift qualifies to be matched. For example, if your last gift was $3,000 and you make a $5,000 gift now, $2,000 qualifies to be matched.

Set up an automatically recurring monthly gift to sustain the creation of classic and contemporary opera year round.
