The Friends of the Wanamaker Organ is a world-wide group of supporters encouraging the preservation and musical mission of this American masterpiece. A special introductory contribution of just $20 (U.S., Canada or overseas) entitles the donor to become a Friend and to receive four issues of The Stentor, the Society's lively historical newsletter and restoration update. Each issue is chock-full of 16 pages of photos and articles. Added tax-deductible donations (please see our donations entry) support Friends concerts and programs.
