Comments: The Benefit is the largest fundraising event for the Museum annually. All proceeds benefit our extensive education and outreach programming, serving over 20,000 residents of CT each year.?? We bring art education programs to schools, the elderly, cancer patients, campers, and so much more. While this is a large private event, it provides high visibility to our sponsors and benefactors, and ultimately benefits the tens of thousands underserved who do not typically have access to the arts.
We would love for the 501st to be around for photo opportunities, interact with guests, greet and welcome, and be in character as much as they would feel comfortable.?? This is a high profile event in southeastern CT, attracting many from Boston and NYC as well.
