Susannah’s Gift Benefit Show
Event Category: Events
Watch a holiday classic on the big screen and give back to the Palatine Park District Cultural Arts Programs at the Susannah’s Gift Benefit Show. The fundraiser on Saturday, December 17 at 2:30pm at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center, 150 E. Wood Street, Palatine includes performances by the Palatine Park District Dance Company, Palatine Children’s Chorus and Palatine Park District Youth and Adult Theatre programs. The festive afternoon ends with a screening of the movie “Elf.” Tickets are $10 and available in advance or at the door.
The fundraiser, in partnership with the Palatine Park Foundation, features raffle baskets and a special meet and greet with Santa. Snacks include two of Buddy the Elf’s favorite food groups – candy and candy canes! All profits from the event will support the Susannah’s Gift Scholarship Fund. The fund assists residents with financial need who would like to participate in park district cultural arts classes and programs.
The Susannah’s Gift Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Susannah Kist, a popular, longtime Palatine Park District theater and music teacher, who lost her battle with cancer in 2009. “We have this wonderful scholarship fund in place, so that students do not need to let funding be a roadblock in pursuing a class in the arts. We would like to get the word out to see more people be able to take advantage of it,” said Lisa Swan, Cultural Arts Coordinator for Palatine Park District.
Tickets are available through Cutting Hall Box Office at cuttinghall.org or at the door on December 17.
