DAF DAY IS OCTOBER 8TH: WHAT WILL YOUR DAF DO? In 2026, our mission faces unprecedented challenges. So, on October 8th, let’s stand up for it together on DAF Day. DAF Day is a national day of giving with donor advised funds. A DAF is a charitable savings account (like a 401k for giving). It’s already a powerful tool for any donor to accelerate their giving, but it has even greater potential when we all give together. Here’s how you can help NMPBS make DAF Day 2026 a powerful show of strength through generosity: 1. Get a DAF: Find verified DAF providers and official DAF Day partners at dafday.com If you already have have a DAF, please set yourself a reminder to act. 2. Share what your DAF will do: Invite your network to DAF along with you in support of NMPBS. Be sure to share our DAF Day giving page at www.nmpbs.org/support/other-gifts/ 3. Track your impact: Make all your DAF gifts at dafday.com so your generosity can be counted in real time. Open your DAF account today and tell the world what your support will do on DAF Day. Thanks, as always, for being a part of the NMPBS community. Theresa Spencer, Development Director, NMPBS 505-277-7225 tspencer@nmpbs.org

Love, Honor, and a Bloody Sicilian Easter This is Italian opera at its finest: passionate, visceral, and over before you know it, making it the perfect introduction for a first-time operagoer. Bring someone who’s sure they don’t like opera! Former OSW Apprentice Artist Max Potter returns as Santuzza, and Jeremy Brauner makes his OSW debut as Turiddu.
