Get ready to “Party for a Purpose” at the Carson Center’s biggest annual fundraising event on Thursday, May 2, 2024!

Save money by taking advantage of the Early Bird discount through April. The sooner the better on getting your table or tickets because this fun event always sells out.

This party takes place throughout the Carson Center. Enjoy mixing and mingling with friends old and new as you enjoy a silent auction, live auction full of one-of-a-kind experiences, food from local restaurants and caterers, wine, champagne, bourbon cocktails, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. All these beverages and food are included in the cost of admission.

The “Purpose of this Party” is to raise money for the Carson Center, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit regional performing arts center. Approximately 35% of the center’s annual funding comes from fundraising events, contributions, sponsorships, and grants. While we love to fill this beautiful theater with generous ticket buyers, the ticket price does not cover the cost of a patron sitting in the seat to enjoy a performance. Additionally, when you buy tickets and tables – you support arts education for children and youth, performances for audiences of all ages, Broadway musicals, big-name concerts, and other performing artists and theatre groups from across our nation and worldwide. Fundraising events and contributions help us involve more schools and families from various socioeconomic backgrounds.

Presenting sponsorships are available now.

If you're interested in a sponsorship, please contact Josh Morehead at 270-443-9932 Option 4.
