                                                                                                                                                                                                      Meadow Brook Theatre has been a part of the Southeast Michigan performing arts community for more than 40 years.  At present, arts organizations are reeling from the effects of the economic recession, and Meadow Brook Theatre is no exception.    Corporate, foundation and individual donations have declined and state funding has been slashed.  Nevertheless, thanks to the dedication, energy and determination of the theatre staff and the support of loyal patrons, the Theatre has continued to produce the Broadway quality, professional entertainment that the public has come to expect, but times are becoming increasingly difficult.

 

Meadow Brook Theatre Guild was organized for charitable and educational purposes, including programs for philanthropic and promotional work for theatre arts in the community; and for providing support for actors during their stay.  The Guild is a 501(c) non-profit organization (Fed No. 38-3533504) Any donation made is fully tax-deductible and fully tax exempt and the Guild shall not carry on any activities not permitted by an organization exempt from Federal Income Tax.

 

The Guild has sponsored “SPOTLIGHTS MARKET”, a juried outdoor art and gift show, for the past nineteen years as a fundraiser for the Theatre.  This year, as in the past, it will be held in the streets of downtown Rochester on Friday, September 11 through Sunday, September 13, 2009. 

 

Today, we are asking for your help.  As you will see from the attached information, there are several ways that you can assist in reaching our goal:  Monetary Sponsorship or In-kind Sponsorship.  All sponsors will be recognized in signage, print and program accordingly.

 

In order to provide proper recognition for all our sponsors, we are asking that you respond no later than August 1, 2009.  Please make checks out to Meadow Brook Theatre Guild and send them along with your sponsorship form to the address provided above.  If you are mailing an in-kind donation, please mail the sponsorship form back to us or call 248.370-3349 so that we may work out any necessary details regarding your donation.

 

We are extremely appreciative of you taking the time to read our information and any assistance that you can provide us in making this fundraiser a huge success.  We hope you will consider the history and tradition of Meadow Brook Theatre and help us to continue to remain a cultural jewel in the Tri-County.
