Take A Seat in History

 

This campaign offers an opportunity to sponsor new seats in the St. Pius X Fine Arts Center theaters (Stage 1 and Stage 2) as part of a once-in-a-generation renovation. Your sponsorship includes a personalized nameplate, which will become a permanent part of the space.

 

 

The seats in Stages 1 and 2, which is just shy of 600 total, have served us well for nearly 50 years. This renovation is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the Fine Arts experience for our students and audiences.

 

 

Your sponsorship directly supports the SPX Fine Arts programs, including drama, band, orchestra, choir, and dance by helping to fund the purchase and installation of these seats, as well as general maintenance and improvement of these cherished performance spaces.

 

 

Each seat sponsorship is $400.

 

 

Sponsorship includes a personalized nameplate affixed to a seat. 

 

 

Yes! You can personalize your nameplate with:

• Your name or family name
• A tribute to a loved one
• Recognition of a graduating class
• A business or organization name
  
  

 

Yes, messages are subject to approval to ensure appropriateness. Sponsors will have three lines (20 characters each, including symbols and spaces) to personalize their seat. Number of lines and character limits will be listed as a reminder during the ordering process.

 

 

The nameplate will remain affixed to the seat for the lifetime of the seat.

 

 

Yes! Seat sponsorships make a meaningful gift for loved ones, friends, or organizations.

 

 

Absolutely. Many sponsors choose to memorialize loved ones or SPX alumni.

 

 

Seats will be assigned randomly by the Advancement Office on a first-come, first-served basis, but seat sponsors will be able to choose whether they want their seat located in Stage 1 or Stage 2.

 

 

No, you can sponsor as many seats as you'd like!

 

 

You can pay securely online at Take A Seat

 

 

Yes, your sponsorship is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive a receipt for your records.

 

 

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate installment payments at this time. Full payment is required at the time of purchase.

 

 

No, this is a naming opportunity only. Sponsorship does not imply ownership or reserved use of the seat during events or performances. 

 

 

Seating for events will remain general admission, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to sit in your sponsored seat. Please know that someone may be sitting in your sponsored seat if/when you arrive for an event. 

 

 

If all seats are sold, additional opportunities to support the Fine Arts Center may be offered in the future.

 

 

Installation is scheduled to be completed during the 2025-26 school year. If the scheduled timeline changes, we will notify you.
