Culture Works to launch 2009 drive
Culture Works will announce a goal of $1.7 million during its 34th annual united arts campaign, which will begin Thursday, Jan. 29, at the Cox Ohio Publishing Media Center, 1611 S. Main St.
The kick-off will begin with a continental breakfast at 7:30 a.m., followed by an 8 a.m. press conference and performances by the Muse Machine, Dayton Opera and Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra.
The campaign target matches the amount raised during the 2008 drive, which fell short of its $1.75 goal. Jon Sebaly of Sebaly, Shillito and Dyer is chair. Dates are Feb. 1-May 16.
This year is off to $600,000 start due to to major gifts from campaign partners NCR Corp., The Dayton Daily News and Time Warner, support from Mead Westvaco, New Page, television stations WDTN, WHIO and ABC 22/Fox 45, along with other individuals, foundations and businesses.
Culture Works is the 16th largest united arts fund in the country. For more information, or to contribute, call (937) 222-2787 or go to www.cultureworks.org.
