NEW HORTON FOOTE THEATRE SEATS AVAILABLE FOR NAMING
WHARTON, TEXAS – Wharton County Junior College has kicked off a fundraising campaign to replace 300 seats in the Horton Foote Theatre. The campaign is needed because original seats were installed in 1967 and repair parts are no longer available for them.Donors to the “Named Seat Project” will have the opportunity to provide a lasting tribute to an important person in their lives by naming seats in memory of loved ones or acquaintances, or in honor of special occasions or individuals. Named seats may be purchased for $200 each and include an engraved plaque with up to three lines of text totaling up to 20 characters per line. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the law. Jeanene Dittman Merka, president of The WCJC Foundation, said “Thousands of community members attend events at the Horton Foote Theatre on the WCJC campus each year. By naming a seat after a special friend or loved one, donors contribute to the lasting legacy of that individual while helping to refurbish the theatre.” For additional information on the “Named Seat Project” or to request a donation form, contact the WCJC Marketing Department at 979.532.6322. #####
