For many years, the Palm Springs Opera Guild has supported an outreach program by which the children of the community could be exposed to operas and operatic voices.

It is estimated that the City's hard costs will total $240 (transportation and labor for Showmobile setup and stand-by electrician). Rental of the park and Showmobile for the day would total $305. Hanging a banner across Palm Canyon Drive for three weeks would total $300.
