Friends helping the Highlands Summer Festival
Through the efforts of Friends of the Highlands Summer Festival thousands of dollars have been invested in the past years to help the Festival grow. In addition to the hundreds of donations received from members and corporations, the organization hosts a
50/50 draw during each performance last season, which proved to be very popular and added greatly to the support of the Festival. We have also hosted fund-raising events during the off season. Sincere thanks to all donors and those who purchase our 50/50 tickets. Look for other fun funding raising opportunities in the coming season.
While some of the Friends of the Highlands Summer Festival donations are used to cover Festival expenses, a large portion of the money is invested in the infrastructure of the Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavilion, improving the facility for all users. Donations from Friends of the Highlands Summer Festival have been combined with money from the Performing Arts Society and the High School, with the assistance of the Haliburton County Development Corporation, in the purchase of new lighting equipment for the theatre. Each year donations have also helped the Festival cover the cost of professional directors and actors.
All donations to Highlands Summer Festival are eligible for a tax deductible receipt. Managed by the Festival’s Board of Directors, the donations help ensure the continued high standards our patrons have come to expect. All donors are eligible to vote at the company’s annual general meeting. Suggested donation levels include: Actor — $50; Director — $100; Producer — $250; Executive Producer — $500; Corporate — $1250 or more.
