Ever since moving permanently to the Palm Beaches in 1962, one of my priorities has been to support and participate in all the art and culture that makes our community so extraordinary. I was always on the go, whether it was to the Royal Poinciana Playhouse performances, the Palm Beach Fine Arts Festival events, or the popular “Music at 8” Regional Arts Concerts held at the West Palm Beach Auditorium—there was no world-class performing arts center back then.
In 1983, I became a Kravis Center supporter when many sites were still being considered on which to build a performing arts venue. It was an honor to be asked to join the Building Campaign advisory committee, and I am also a Founder Member. It was very exciting to see an entire community work together to create such an important cultural landmark—the Kravis Center opened its doors in November 1992.
As a young child growing up in the Boston area, I made the effort myself to experience the live performing arts, especially the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops and the out-of-town tryout of future Broadway shows. My Boston years were a cherished time and truly nurtured my life-long love of the arts. I believe such memorable times should be part of every child’s life. That is why I am a member of the Helen K. Persson Society and support the Center’s Permanently Restricted Endowment Fund. It gives me great joy to know my donations will fund programs at the Kravis Center which will allow young students to cultivate their life-long love of the performing arts.
