Capital Campaign
The Mario Lanza Institute and Museum is losing its lease as the building that houses the space we occupy is being sold to a developer. We are interested in a location but before we can move in, some renovation will need to be done.
Time is of the essence and your support now is needed more than ever so please consider making a tax-deductible donation. No amount is too small and whatever you can afford to give will be greatly appreciated and of considerable help.

ABOUT US
The Mario Lanza Institute, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, honors the memory of the late, great singer by sponsoring scholarships to promising young singers to further their training and careers. More than 200 scholarships have been awarded and many of the recipients have gone on to perform at major opera houses. The scholarships are awarded to winners of an annual competition. Vocal auditions are held in October. In November, a Mario Lanza Institute announces the winners at the annual Ball.
The Institute also houses a museum featuring photos and artifacts related to Mario Lanza. Holdings include clothing worn by Mario, original movie posters, boxing gloves he used in his youth, and some of his gold records If you would like to make a donation, please make your check payable to Mario Lanza Institute and mail to the following address: Mario Lanza Institute PO Box 54624 Philadelphia, PA 19148
