Juanita K. Hammons Hall, now more than ever, depends upon support from individuals and businesses in our community to assist us in continuing to present the best in performing arts, entertainment and arts education. funds donated to The Performance Society help pay the costs associated with bringing
artists to the Hall; help provide master classes, seminars and residency activities; and help with the facility’s operational expenses.
Your contribution to The Performance Society is recognized throughout the season with special mention in the Hall’s season program. Higher level
donors receive additional benefits, including vouchers to exchange for tickets, advance notification of performances, and special invitations. contributions help keep ticket prices at a reasonable level – many times, prices charged for cultural events do not cover even half the artists’ fees and expenses. Gifts are fully tax
deductible, minus the benefits at each level.
Your generous gift enriches the lives of citizens throughout the community. for more information call the Missouri State University office of Development at 417-836-4143.
