On behalf of our Board and staff, The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts thanks all sponsors, donors, and attendees for their generous support and enthusiasm for this year’s OVATIONS gala which took place on April 5, 2008.

The evening raised $218,500 in net proceeds to support The Bushnell’s nationally recognized, award-winning, arts-in-education PARTNERS® (Partners in Arts and Education Revitalizing Schools ) Program. Thanks to the spirit of giving we can continue to provide diverse students from economically disadvantaged situations with an equal chance for academic success.  We are all deeply touched by the generosity of supporters.
