SUNDAY SUPPER WITH THE STARS

A Virtual Celebration and Fundraiser to Benefit Cal Performances
Sunday, May 23, 2021

5 PM VIP Pre-Program Party
6 PM Main Event

The Cal Performances Board of Trustees and Special Event Committee invite you to join us for a virtual gathering and star-studded evening to celebrate the enduring power and beauty of the performing arts!

For VIP ticket holders, sponsors, and their guests, the festivities will begin with a pre-program party starting at 5 PM. We will gather in private Zoom breakout rooms for virtual supper clubs, and enjoy visits from favorite Cal Performances artists and other engaging personalities.

At 6 PM we’ll be treated to a gorgeous streaming presentation — available to all — hosted by dancer/choreographer (and Cal Performances favorite!) Hope Boykin and featuring artists drawn from the Cal Performances at Home spring season.

Now, more than ever, the work of Cal Performances is essential to the recovery of the performing arts and arts education, and this fundraiser is a timely opportunity to amplify your impact. Every new donation dollar that exceeds your giving from the previous fiscal year will be matched 100% by an anonymous donor. For new donors, your entire gift will be matched.

Thank you for supporting this special event and the mission of Cal Performances.

We hope to see you there!

CO-CHAIRS   Helen Meyer, Maris Meyerson, Sara E. Wilson

COMMITTEE   Naniette Coleman, Marianne Geagea, Cary Koh, Chris Lauer, Sylvia Lindsey, Jen Lyons, Leigh Teece, Caroline Winnett

Event proceeds will strengthen Cal Performances’ artistic and education programs as we anticipate our return to in-person performances.
