STC Wins Arts & Business Award

STC picked up the "Best Arts/Business Partnership" award from the Arts & Business Council of Sacramento at the annual Prelude to the Season event last Thursday. The award, which goes to the best collaboration between a local business and a non-profit arts organiztion, was given to the Firehouse Ball in recognition of the relationship between STC, the Firehouse Restaurant and the Harvego Family Foundation.

We're very proud of this award and even prouder of the event itself, which raised a record amount for STC last June. Look for a save-the-date notice after the first of the year for the 9th annual Firehouse Ball!

More A&BC Nominations

The official list of finalists for the annual Prelude to the Season event for the Arts and Business Council have been announced and several members of our STC family have been honored:
Peggy Shannon, STC's artistic director--Artist of the Year
Dan Brunner, past president, STC Board of Trustees--Volunteer of the Year
Marcy Goodnow, STC staff choreographer--Arts Educator of the Year

Congratulations to these exceptional people! We're proud, naturally.

STC Nominated for Arts & Business Award

Just got the word from the Arts & Business Council of Sacramento that STC and the Firehouse Restaurant have been nominated for the 2008 Prelude to the Season Awards in the category of "Arts/Business Partnership." It's a nice nod to our annual Firehouse Ball which raised a record $188,000 this past June in its 8th year as our major fundraiser.

Lloyd Harvego, owner of the Firehouse Restaurant, has been a terrific partner through the years and deserves all the credit for making this event the most unique (and delicious!) fundraiser in Sacramento. Prelude to the Season takes place Thursday, October 2nd at the Doubletree Inn.
