CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS

Sponsors provide vital underwriting for the Center's programs, events and operations. As the premier arts venue in North County, the Center welcomes more than 250,000 patrons annually. Schools and non-profit groups find an encouraging atmosphere on the Center's stages and enjoy the support of our professionals in their presentations. In addition, our performing arts audiences are drawn from the entire region, making the Center the most diverse venue in San Diego North. Please contact Jennifer Nichols, Development Manager of Community Partnerships at (760) 839-4124 to discuss sponsorship opportunities.

SECOND CENTURY FUND

To ensure that the vision born more than 40 years ago continues into the 21st century and beyond, the Center has created The Second Century Fund. This fund supports the Center�s future programs, operations, and special opportunities with contributions to the Center�s endowment. The following have made deferred gifts to ensure a bright future for the Center:

The Abe Cline Trust*
Marlin and Lois Brossart*
Joseph & Cherie Gersch
Mrs. Raymond Sahm*
John A. & Louise Thurber*
(* Center Founder)

Gifts may be made in many forms and they may be pledged over several years, made in the form of bequests, planned gifts, or a combination of a current and deferred gift you designate for endowment. For information on making a planned gift to the Center, please call Tina Inscoe, Annual Fund Director at (760) 839-6312.

COMMEMORATIVE NAMING OPPORTUNITIES

The Board of Trustees has affirmed its desire to honor those who make a major financial commitment to the Center by naming a facility or program in their honor.

The Center depends on the contributions of thousands of people — members, volunteers, donors, patrons and community groups — and recognizes the unique generosity of those able and willing to give very large gifts.

The goal of offering the opportunity to make a designated gift is to establish the financial stability that will enable the Center to maintain viable art resources in the community for years to come.
