Sponsor a Seat

The stage is almost set for Crafton Hills College’s all-new Finkelstein Performing Arts Center’s debut. But before the curtain is lifted on the space in 2025, the Yucaipa-based college’s Foundation has put out the call for the community to sponsor a seat (or two).

Funds raised through the effort will go to support the future of the college’s Theater Arts Department, and each seat sponsored will include a personalized touch – a donor plate embossed with each donor’s name or name of their choosing.

“Donations are not for lights and overhead, but for support that helps students to be successful,” explained Michelle Riggs, Crafton’s director of institutional advancement. “This  endowment  will enhance experiences for theatre, dance and music students and provide program expenses, impacting students in perpetuity.”

The fundraiser, added CHC Theater Department Chair Paul Jacques, “is really exciting to see because this is a major investment in the time and effort the college has put into promoting the performing arts. This is going to benefit the performing arts at Crafton for the next 20 years.”

Crafton’s new 24,000-square foot PAC stands on the site of the college’s old gym, which was demolished last year. The new performing space will house instructional spaces for music, theater and dance programming and was approved for construction in Sept. 2022. A groundbreaking followed in May 2023.
