A special tribute to Pinecrest Gardens’ Sponsors for the 2021-2022 Season
With our performing arts season coming to an end, it is important to thank everyone who has made this season possible. These past two years have been nothing short of challenging. But with a handful of guardian angels, we came into a full season of performing arts with the support of a handful of very caring sponsors who made this our best season ever.
It is no secret that cultural arts can be costly, and there are very few cultural venues and ventures that exist on ticket sales alone. So why do sponsors step up and help cultural institutions thrive? BECAUSE CULTURE MATTERS! We believe the neighborhood stage is just as important as a world class museum or performing arts center in its value to the community, in the lives of its residents and in the education of its young people.
When our sponsors support The Gardens, they make an investment in our community. It’s an investment in our children to ensure that they have viable and vibrant arts education programs in a safe and pristine botanical environment; it’s an investment in the economy of our community that attract visitors who spend their dollars at our local restaurants and shops when they visit the Gardens to walk our botanical paths or see a show; it’s an investment in our area’s young children or teens to encourage creative thinking through visits to our sensory garden, seeing or performing in a local production or participating in a visiting artist workshop; and further, it’s an investment in a rich and varied quality of life.
Because ticket sales and admissions cover only a small percentage of our annual expenses, our sponsors, grant providers and funders’ contributions help Pinecrest cover the costs that ticket sales and venue rentals cannot.
We rely on various sources of support to offer high quality programming year after year, bring new experiences to our audiences, create quality arts education programs, and help to seed The Gardens as a venue for many free community events and programs that benefit both our local residents, as well as underserved populations in the greater community of South Florida.
With that in mind we graciously tip our hat to the generous corporate sponsors who have recognized the cultural value that Pinecrest Gardens brings to the community we serve. God bless you all!
