The Arts Council of Winston-Salem workplace campaign
The following message was emailed on March 6 by Wake Forest Communications and External Relations to students, faculty and staff on behalf of Hu Womack, who is 2020 Wake Forest Campaign Chair for the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County:
TL;DR The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County does incredible, meaningful work in our community, and they need our support. Please consider a donation at any level!
Dear Colleagues,
The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County successfully supports the arts community in this city, and we need to support the Arts Council!
The Arts Council of Winston-Salem is the biggest driver of cultural investment in Forsyth County. With the help of 54 workplace campaigns like our own, The Arts Council collectively raises $2.5 million for the Community Fund for the Arts. The work of the Arts Council supports our community and has a positive impact on our economy. Theater, dance, music, film, visual and other arts, and cultural experiences all play a role in the schools, in the streets, in our performance venues, and in our hearts.
The Arts Council staff and affiliates understand the importance of a well-rounded education and are committed to the education of over 30,000 children in Winston Salem/Forsyth County Schools each year through enriching arts experiences and programs. By working together, we can advance our shared purpose through providing an education that prepares each participating student for a better tomorrow.
