How they are participating

The Mann for the Performing Arts is the only summer outdoor performing arts venue in the Philadelphia region and offers a diverse season of world-class culture and entertainment.

More than 50,000 young people participate in the Mann’s free educational programs each year, which include young people’s concerts, in-school presentations,workshops and master classes.

On #GivingTuesday (Nov. 27, 2012) the Mann is asking patrons to make a special one-time gift to help tackle the biggest hurdle in providing access for young people to attend these free educational programs: the cost of transportation.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 on #GivingTuesday to help pay for school buses so children can experience the magic and richness of live performance.

You can help the Mann by purchasing a seat on the bus. Your $50 donation will provide a seat on a bus for one child. We need 200 donors to each make a gift of $50 to meet our goal and you can help the cause today.

Let's work together to make sure every child gets the chance to be inspired by the beauty and wonder of the Mann Center.

All #GivingTuesday donors will be honored on the Mann’s website. Follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook for announcements and updates about how you can join The Mann Center for the Performing Arts on #GivingTuesday.

The Mann Center for the Performing Arts is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization with a rich 77 year-old history as a Philadelphia cultural landmark.
