Broadway in the Park 2008

Last year's Broadway in the Park was a huge success!

We are delighted to report that the evening grossed almost $195,000. We netted over $129,000 due to the tremendous contribution of our volunteer work force and donated goods and services from local businesses. The children who participate in our Youth Cultural Enrichment Program will be richly blessed because of the generosity of all who were involved in making Broadway in the Park a success!.
