We are pleased to announce that, as of our October 31 deadline, we—or really, you—have collectively gone above and beyond Cal Shakes’ three-months-long new donor challenge. As of Friday, October 21, 250 wonderful people had joined the ranks of Cal Shakes supporters as new donors, while also helping us to secure a challenge gift of $10,000 from a longtime donor. Our generous donor—so excited about your response to her challenge—decided to extend it, offering another $1,000 for every additional 25 new donors making a gift of any amount to Cal Shakes by October 31!

As of October 31, exactly 300 new donors contributed a total of $13,862, earning us an additional $12,000 from our committed supporter. That’s a total of $25,862 to help us make theater and arts-education programs more accessible to thousands of underserved youth and adults each year.

New donors, THANK YOU! We are truly thrilled by your resounding support.

Sincerely,

The Entire Company

California Shakespeare Theater
