Your Gift Goes to Work on 47th Street
The Harold Washington Cultural Center is sustained by the people who believe in it. Your gift funds paid apprentice stipends in Off the Streets and On the Stage, where young people train in performance, production, hospitality, and audience development through 15-week cycles, and where theater serves as therapy and grief counseling. It keeps community programs free, puts students in front of school matinees, and sends young artists to the Tony Awards, a tradition since 2013. Every year this work reaches more than 25,000 young people, and every dollar helps keep this stage, built on the ground of the historic Regal Theatre, alive for the next generation.
