Theatre Seat Campaign
Ernie Wish has issued a challenge to provide a spark that will ignite support for the Goldfarb Center for Performing Arts and for WIU students: If 100 seats are named by Homecoming on October 24, an additional $25,000 gift will be unlocked.
Each $250 seat naming brings us one step closer to the goal. Together, 100 named seats will raise $25,000 and unlock another $25,000 to support performances, programs and experiences that bring the Goldfarb Center to life for our students, audiences, and community.
