Your important investment in the Performing Arts Charitable Endowment (PACE) makes it possible to continue to offer spectacular seasons of music, dance and theater YEAR AFTER YEAR!

 

Your donation is a gift that keeps on giving as it is part of our endowment and is not spent on annual operating expenses. Thanks to our donors' generous support, PACE is growing by leaps and bounds. Your valued participation makes it possible for over 9,000 school children to experience the performing arts each year. For many children this is their only opportunity to experience live concert events. To make the school programs possible, partnerships are formed with the City of Prescott/Acker Trust, Pam & Bob Haber, PTA's, Arizona Commission on the Arts, Western States Arts Federation and National Endowment for the Arts.

 

PACE operates as a part of the Yavapai College Foundation. The Foundation provides investment and management services to PACE. An advisory committee is selected from current PACE donors and approved by the Foundation board of directors. Each year, the PACE Advisory Committee reviews investment balances and determines an amount in excess of the cumulative donations since 1993 that should be used to support specific Community Events programs for the following year. This means that your gift will continue to assist the Community Events office in bringing quality programming for many years to come. This season PACE is contributing $6,000 to support programs for the youth and underserved audiences of Yavapai County and lower ticket prices.

 

Please show your support and commitment to the performing arts and contribute to PACE. Contributions are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Your gift is vital to sustaining artistic excellence, cultural diversity and developing audiences of the future.
