The Buchanan Center for the Arts would like to thank Target for their generous grant to help our Children’s Theater Program.  We are enormously grateful for their contribution.

This grant is part of ongoing efforts by Target to strengthen families and communities throughout the country.  Since opening its door, Target has given 5 percent of its income to organizations that support education, the arts, social services and volunteerism. Today that equals more than $3 million every week.

“At Target, our local grants are making a difference in the communities we serve, “ said Laysha Ward, president, Community Relations, Target.  “We’re proud to partner with the Buchanan Center for the Arts as part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where our guests and team members live and work.”
