The Marcus Performing Arts Center Presents César E. Chávez Birthday Celebration

The Marcus Performing Arts Center is presenting a free inaugural event that focuses on educating our community about the legacy of César E. Chávez. Chávez was an unselfish advocate of social justice and respect for human dignity.

The César E. Chávez Birthday Celebration program will highlight the youth in our community. Building on the success of the Marcus Center's Dr. King Birthday event, we will engage students through providing an art, essay and spoken word contest.

In addition, various cultural arts organizations will take center stage in Uihlein Hall to truly demonstrate the excellence of our arts and education. The event will conclude with a reception at the Marcus Center.

The César E. Chávez. Birthday Celebration is organized by a steering committee of community members, school representatives, corporate leaders, and Marcus Center staff. This event is free and open to the public.

Corporate sponsors include: BMO Harris Bank, Brewers Community Foundation, Froedtert Health, GE Healthcare, Rockwell Automation, Telemundo Wisconsin, and CBS 58.
