Concert season at Ford Amphitheater is officially underway and we couldn't be more excited. 🎶

When fans show up for a show, they're showing up for something bigger. Every unforgettable moment supports local artists, funds grants, and creates cultural experiences that bring communities to life.

That's the power of live music driven by a cause.

Celebrating the Woodland Park Wind Symphony, one of our Summer 2025 grant recipients

Our support helped underwrite the venue costs for their Summer performance at the Shockley-Zalabak Theater at the Ent Center for the Performing Arts, empowering the symphony to provide free tickets to local students.

Introducing young people to live arts in a professional theater sparks creativity, builds confidence, and strengthens the cultural fabric of the community- and we’re honored to be part of that impact.

🎺💛 Bravo to the Woodland Park Wind Symphony!
