CHEF has extended Passion for PCO through September 30!
The Community Health and Education Foundation (CHEF) is partnering with PCO to make your support go further by providing a 50% match for each generous donation - up to $50,000. Together, we can raise $150,000 for PCO.
Your gift will support:
- Our unique range of expressive concert programs – music from all eras, in many styles and for all ages.
- Eric Silberger, our first Creative Partner & Artist in Residence – performing, soloing, composing and shaping PCO’s artistry.
- Eileen Moon, Principal Cellist, and other principal chairs of the orchestra – enabling the extraordinary artistic leadership, experience and depth at the heart of PCO.
- Discover Music Now – bringing professional musicians and live music to thousands of students through in-school assemblies and full-orchestra concerts.
- The people who make it possible for audiences and musicians to come together – supporting the PCO team and infrastructure that turns artistic ideas into reality.
To donate via check: please make the check payable to CHEF, write “Passion for PCO 2026” in the memo field and send to:

PO Box 420,
Livermore, CA. 94551
Only donations made to CHEF and designated to PCO qualify for the match. That is how CHEF is able to keep track of the donations made to the campaign to be matched. CHEF is a 501c3 non-profit organization (EIN 82-1408737). All charitable contributions are tax-deductible. CHEF will send you a receipt of your donation for you tax giving records.
