WOLF TRAP FOUNDATION FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS 1
Few endeavors touch hearts and minds like the arts. Live performance has the power to bring people closer together, forge lasting friendships, and build and uplift communities. We see it firsthand at more than 200 shows at the Filene Center, The Barns, and Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods, and we bring it directly to our youngest learners in our early-childhood classrooms across the country. It has been an extraordinary year for Wolf Trap Foundation—certainly as measured by the milestones reached and record achievements captured in this report—but also in impact that is as difficult to quantify as it is powerful to experience. Unifying, inspiring, and welcoming experiences have been hallmark principles of Wolf Trap Foundation since its founding by Catherine Filene Shouse more than 45 years ago, and they ring ever stronger today. In a year of tremendous performances and education expansion, we thank the dedicated Wolf Trap community of exceptional artists, donors, patrons, partners, educators, and others who made this experience possible for so many. In these pages we celebrate our collective impact and the knowledge that together we are far greater than the sum of our parts.

The prestigious conference brought more than 3,000 leading education professionals together who are committed to providing children living in economically disadvantaged conditions with high quality education. Wolf Trap’s session— Tomorrow’s Pioneers: Providing Access to All in Early Childhood Through the Arts— allowed participants to engage in quality STEM/arts experiences and explore the connection between the arts and early childhood curriculum with a Wolf Trap teaching artist.

Wolf Trap also collaborated with Vienna’s own Caboose Brewing Co. to create a private-label craft beer—Wolf Trap Summer Ale. Back by popular demand, Wolf Trap Honey, sourced from on-site beehives, was a patron favorite in the Gift Shop again this summer. New this year—visitors could buy Honey Soap handmade by Muddy Creek Soap Company using Wolf Trap beeswax. 2017 will be remembered as the year of the Pavilion Cup. For the first time, audiences were able to enjoy drinks in the covered seating area of the Filene Center thanks to these spill-safe, reusable, and recyclable cups.

The importance of Wolf Trap Foundation’s mission was underscored by Virginia’s Governor, the Honorable Terry McAuliffe, who attended with his wife Dorothy, and delivered brief remarks before dinner.

And I appreciate everything that Wolf Trap does.” Ball co-chairs Karen and Fred Schaufeld and Nancy Laben and Jon Feiger announced that the Ball raised $1.5 million for Wolf Trap Foundation’s arts and education programs.

2017 Leadership Dinner: Board Chairman Dan D’Aniello and President and CEO Arvind Manocha hosted the Foundation’s most generous individual philanthropists at an elegant and exclusive Leadership Dinner at The Barns in early spring.
GREAT GATHERINGS The fall welcomed Wolf Trap’s popular bourbon tasting social, expanded this year to include an effervescent selection of sparkling wines.
