Singing Valentines is the name for a fundraising program that is popular with barbershop choruses in the U.S. and Canada. The delivery of Singing Valentines is usually done by a barbershop quartet from a chapter affiliated with the three major International barbershop societies:
- Barbershop Harmony Society
- Sweet Adelines International
- Harmony, Incorporated
Note that this is not really a variation on the singing telegram, since the message detail is not dictated by the sender. Rather, quartets usually deliver a canned package of one or two barbershop songs with a personalized card and either roses or chocolates.
