Ruth Eckerd Hall Announces The 12th Anniversary Gala 9/15 ImageThe Ruth Eckerd Hall Board of Directors announced today that Ruth Eckerd Hall's 12th Anniversary Gala, All You Need Is Love, will be held at Ruth Eckerd Hall on Friday, September 15 beginning at 6:30 pm. Sponsorships and tickets are on sale now.

The theme of this event is inspired by the Broadway hit musical RAIN (scheduled to perform at the Hall in 2018). Guests will enjoy cocktails and a silent auction in the Grand Concourse, followed by a seated dinner and dancing on the main stage.

The proceeds from the Gala will benefit the education programs of the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts at Ruth Eckerd Hall, including the prestigious GRAMMY Museum's Music Revolution Project which provides a four-week, tuition free intensive camp for 25 local aspiring singer-songwriters and the newly defined Teachers Without Borders program, which enables our Teaching Artists to provide first-class arts instruction off-site at local schools and throughout the community.

Sponsorship opportunities range from $3,500 to $15,000 and include a table for 10 guests. Individual tickets are also available at $350 each.

For more information including sponsorship opportunities and to purchase tickets, patrons are encouraged to contact Eve O'Donnell, Special Events Manager at Ruth Eckerd Hall, at 727.712.2752 or EODonnell@rutheckerdhall.net.
