For the past two decades, Fanfare has offered a variety of cultural events that appeal to the student population as well as the entire community. The October festival’s mission has been to bring artistic and cultural awareness to our region through presentations that appeal to diverse tastes, interests and backgrounds, and highlight nationally and internationally recognized artists and scholars. Fanfare focuses on cultivating an appreciation for all disciplines of the arts and humanities through a multitude of artistic and intellectual offerings.

Named Seats
Hainkel Hall offers hundreds of naming opportunities for you or a loved one. Named seat opportunities are available at 3 levels:  $250, $500 and $750, depending on the location. (Please note that the naming of a seat does not guarantee the opportunity to purchase a ticket in that seat for every performance.)

Endowments
A gift in memory or honor of a relative or friend is a generous and thoughtful way to recognize a person’s life and their love and appreciation for the performing arts. Establishing an endowment requires a $10,000 minimum to be issued in one lump sum or over a fixed period of time. Endowments exist in perpetuity, the principal of which will never be touched.

Your gift helps ensure the quality programming for which Columbia Theatre/Fanfare have come to be recognized. For more information about these and other individual giving opportunities, please contact Southeastern’s Development Foundation at 985-549-3380.
