GDYO Parents Guild
The GDYO Parents Guild is a parent run organization that supports the staff and musicians of the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra in two areas: volunteering and fundraising. GDYO Guild members provide snacks to the musicians at rehearsals, organize and staff social and recognition events, contribute to scholarships and special projects, and financially support the organization. Fundraising efforts include membership donations and selling fundraising merchandise at concerts, rehearsals and online.
