Fundraising Events

Since ticket sales alone do not cover the cost of operating a not-for-profit facility like the Straz Center, it is through generous contributions and fundraising events that we continue to succeed in making the best of the performing arts available to the entire community.

The Straz Center hosts three significant fund raising events every year. For more information or to place your name on the events mailing list, please contact the Special Events Department at 813.222.1275 or rsvp@strazcenter.org.
