A new van = A bigger reach = More young people experiencing the arts

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Sharon & Jerry Kania, Season Ambassadors, our Education team has a brand new 2026 Ford 15-passenger transit van!

For Sharon and Jerry, the gift was a natural extension of their longstanding commitment to young people and education: “We’ve always been supportive of young people’s education. Seeing the activities that Gulfshore Playhouse provides for them in Naples and the surrounding communities, we wanted to help.”

We’re incredibly grateful to Sharon and Jerry Kania for seeing a need and helping us meet it. Thank you, Sharon and Jerry, for helping us take Education on the road!
