DEAREST FRIENDS,
We also wish to thank this evening’s Honorary Co-Chairs, our dear Wallis Annenberg, whose visionary leadership and transformative contributions have helped to make The Wallis not only a cherished community resource, but an industry leader that attracts incredible talent the world over; and to Lynda and Stewart Resnick, whose stalwart support inspires all of us.
Susan & Peter E. Strauss Event Co-chairs Cathy & Mark Louchheim Event Co-chairs
We raise our glasses to these remarkable arts leaders. Whether you know Irving from his role at the helm of the careers of the Eagles, Steely Dan, Bon Jovi and Chelsea Handler and many more; or Shelli as the driving force behind the remodel of the Fabulous Forum, the managing partner of The Azoff Restaurant Group which brought The Apple Pan and Nate ‘n Al’s delicatessen back from the brink of closure; or their tireless philanthropy; it is evident that the Azoffs are a credit to our city. Shelli and Irving, you have our immense admiration, and our gratitude.
We also wish to acknowledge and express our tremendous gratitude to our honorary co-chairs, Lynda and Stewart Resnick and Wallis Annenberg, as well as the dedicated event co-chairs, Cathy & Mark Louchheim and Susan & Peter Strauss. This celebration of the Azoffs benefits The Wallis’ world-class arts programming and education experiences that are treasured and needed by our community.
Beginning with our inaugural season in 2013, The Wallis has strived to be a vibrant civic hub and community resource, and a leader in sharing exceptional arts experiences and education resources that reflect the diversity and pioneering spirit of the city we call home. This mission could not be fulfilled without your support. Tonight’s annual benefit will go a long way to help us achieve our mission and strengthen our institution.
DEAR FRIENDS OF THE WALLIS,
Sincerely,
