Thanks for Celebrating With Us!

Thank you for being a part of SF Shakes' All The World's A Stage Gala last Saturday April 20 at the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club. The participation of over 100 people through ticket sales, auction winning bids, and donations made our annual gala and online auction a tremendous success! With your generous support, we raised over $90,000 for our arts and education programs!

We've collected some of the best photos of the event, and invite you to check them out here! Feel free to download, share and tag @sfshakes on your social feeds, and please credit "Gary Ferber Photography"!

If you won an auction item or donated to the Festival (whether through our event site, through our text-to-give option, or during the Fund-A-Need), you should have a statement via email on April 20 that listed the fair market value of any items your won, and the total value of your donations for tax-deductibility purposes. For reference, the Festival's FEIN number is 94-2867269.

By May 3, we expect all those who won auction items but were not present to receive their items. You may receive additional emails from the SF Shakes Gala Event Team or from Meredith Eldred (meldred@sfshakes.org).

If you're so moved to make an additional donation and push our results even higher, you can visit our secure Donate Page. Every gift helps!

Many thanks again for your support of San Francisco Shakespeare Festival and our commitment to equitable arts access.

Proceeds from the event support our mission to make the words and themes of Shakespeare accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, financial status, or level of education. Your contributions ensure the continuation of arts and education programs like Free Shakespeare in the Park, Shakespeare’s Heartbeat, Shakespeare On Tour, and Bay Area Shakespeare Camps.

If you believe in the power of the performing arts to transform lives, then join us and celebrate the enduring artistry of Shakespeare!
