Pew and Theater Seat Drive
The Foundation achieved a major milestone in the 2001, celebrating the Grand Opening of the St. Joseph’s Performance Hall. Now is the perfect time for you to take ownership in the Triangle’s premier African American cultural arts center. For a tax-deductible contribution of $200, you can purchase a theatre seat in the balcony of this historic structure or for a bit more you can purchase one of the lovely pews on the main level. Your pew/seat will be adorned with a brass plaque bearing your name as an eternal contribution in your honor.
