Van Wezel Foundation Leadership Donor Program Announced.
The Van Wezel Foundation recently launched its leadership donor campaign, Where Inspiration Takes Center Stage. The campaign will support the Van Wezel’s Schooltime Performances program as well as the maintenance and improvement of the Van Wezel’s Performing Arts Hall.
Focusing on inspiring donors to provide higher funding levels by becoming members of the Van Wezel Foundation’s newly created Founders Society, the campaign to date has already attracted eight Founding members at levels of $25,000 and more.
“I believe our immediate success is an indication of the leadership and dedication of these Founding Members, many of which were responsible for bringing others into Membership,” states Monica Van Buskirk, the Van Wezel Foundation’s President and CEO.
As a means of demonstrating the Van Wezel Foundation’s appreciation for its Founding Members loyalty and leadership, each donor will be recognized by inclusion on a celebratory wall in the Founders Lounge with portraits by photographer Barbara Banks of Sarasota.
For more information you can contact Van Buskirk at: Office: (941) 366-5578 | Mobile: (941) 302-0011.
Where Inspiration Takes Center Stage has been created and supported by the Foundation’s Marketing Committee, chaired by board member John Jakes and supported by advertising and public relations counselor Cheray Keyes-Shima with KSC, Inc. and the Foundation Staff. “The Board and I couldn’t be happier with the campaign theme and message, as we believe it is a true reflection of what the Van Wezel is all about. For indeed, for more than 40 years, the performances that have been held at the Van Wezel have been inspiring audiences of all ages to dream, learn and achieve,” further comments Van Buskirk.
The mission of the Van Wezel Foundation is to enrich the lives of members of the Gulf Coast Community, with an emphasis on children, through the performing arts while supporting the needs of the Van Wezel – the region’s premier performing arts hall.
