Beck Center Nearing Halfway Mark in Fundraising Goal

Arts Center Still Needs $150,000 by the end of April

 

Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts is grateful to the City of
Lakewood for its announcement yesterday to commit to long-term
investment in the organization. Stories about the City's contribution
have raised questions from the public about the status of our current
fundraising campaign. 

 

We have an immediate need to raise $150,000 by the end of April for
operational support. To date, approximately $75,000 has been raised
toward that short-term goal. The Beck Center is still encouraging its
friends and supporters to continue to help in this time of crisis. 

 

The City of Lakewood's commitment of energy efficiency project funding
and debt restructuring helps our long-term capitalization goal, which is
$600,000 by the end of November. The Beck Center Board of Directors is
committed to a capitalization plan to ensure our long-term financial
stability. The announcement from the City of Lakewood is the lead gift
and a strong show of support for this long-term campaign.

 

One of the region's largest arts organizations, Beck Center for the Arts
is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization that offers professional
theater productions on two stages, arts education programming in dance,
music, theater, visual arts, early childhood, and creative arts
therapies for special needs students, and gallery exhibits featuring
local and regional artists.
