DESSERT FIRST FOR KRAVIS CENTER ANNUAL FRIEND MEMBERS
Donors indulge in sweet sampling before “So You Think You Can Dance” show
(WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.) Nearly 200 Kravis Center Annual Friend Members raised their mint chocolate milkshake shots in support of the exciting 2015-2016 season at the Center’s Annual Dessert Reception. Held just prior to the evening’s performance of So You Think You Can Dance, the reception was full of families and delectable confections. The event was sponsored by Bank of America and offered Kravis Center leadership an opportunity to thank Annual Friend level donors for their ongoing support of the Kravis Center.
“Tonight’s reception is a celebration of your continued commitment to the Kravis Center,” said Judith Mitchell, Kravis Center CEO. “As a donor, one of your benefits is the opportunity to order performance tickets prior to the general public, but more than that, you can take great pride in knowing that your contribution supports the Center’s nationally acclaimed arts education and outreach programs. In fact, nearly 60,000 children attended numerous performances through the Kravis Center’s S*T*A*R Series last season. We applaud you for helping us fulfill our mission and we look forward to another star-studded season with you!”
Kravis Center Annual Friend Members contribute a yearly gift of $100 or more and also receive priority access to Kravis On Broadway and Regional Arts Concert Series, subscriptions to Kravis Center publications, as well as a special memento of the season and an invitation to the Annual Friend Members Dessert Reception.
“We are most grateful to Bank of America for sponsoring our Annual Friends’ reception for the fifth consecutive year,” continued Ms. Mitchell. “It is significant to note that Bank of America has supported the Kravis Center since 1986 as contributors to the original building campaign. We deeply appreciate their continued commitment to art and culture in our community.”
Before moving on from sugary sweets to So You Think You Can Dance, Annual Friend Members heard from Stephanie Glavin, Palm Beach County Market Manager for Bank of America, who also thanked the donors for their commitment. She acknowledged that supporting the Kravis Center not only supports the arts, but supports business in our community, as the Center acts as a catalyst to attract new businesses and to spark innovation.
