Thank You for Stepping Forward!

May 08, 2014

Patrons Circle donors enjoying exclusive behind-the-scenes artist chat as a benefit at the 2014 Festival.

PuSh donors have done it again! Patrons Circle donors have generously stepped forward to give more than $21,000 for our 2014 Spring Campaign! We are deeply grateful to all our dedicated and committed donors who fuel the best in the contemporary performing arts on Vancouver stages each January.

Not only was every dollar of the $10,000 matching challenge met, PuSh supporters went above and beyond to surpass that $10,000 goal. This means PuSh supporters helped us achieve our most successful Spring Campaign in our 10-year history.

These funds will go a long way to supporting the groundbreaking and genre-bending performances that PuSh brings to Vancouver every winter. Charitable donations support programming and artists, as well as initiatives like the PuSh Youth Program, engaging young people 16- to 24-years old in a lifelong appreciation of performing arts.

Our amazing donors make all of this possible!

If you didn’t give during the Spring Campaign, it’s not too late – we accept donations throughout the year. You can join the Patrons Circle by making a gift today!
