REMINDER: Seat-naming opportunity for Center for the Performing Arts underway
GRAMBLING, La. -- Now is the time to honor a trusted mentor, relative or friend by giving them “A Seat Of Honor” in the new Grambling State University Center for the Performing Arts.
A campaign now underway offers people or organizations the opportunity to name a seat in honor of a worthy person. Proceeds will go toward furnishings, equipment and other enhancements at the center.
At a cost of $1,000, patrons can purchase an elegant, golden plaque that can be engraved with three lines of 20 letters each. Naming a seat is an excellent way to celebrate the memory of a loved one, honor a fraternity, sorority or other club organization, or remember a wedding anniversary in perpetuity.
More details are as follows:
- Patrons must submit an initial deposit of $250 by April 10. The remainder is payable over one year.
- GSU faculty and staff may use payroll deduction to complete their pledge.
- Payroll deduction cards for remainder must be turned in by April 10.
- Plaques will be placed after the gift pledge has been fulfilled.
A deposit of $250 received on or before April 10 qualifies patrons to receive one (1) complimentary ticket to the President’s Annual Scholarship Dinner-Theatre Gala at 5:30 p.m., April 24 or April 25, 2009, in the Assembly Center. This year’s production will feature GSU students performing musical, Dreamgirls.
For questions or additional information, contact Suzanne Douglas at (318) 274-2203 or Rose Wright at (318) 274-2217 in the Office of Institutional Advancement.
