SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT
Hampton Ford Hyundai: Solid Gold
January marks the beginning of the movie awards season, and at The Music Hall that makes us think of our Presenting Cinema Sponsor, Hampton Ford Hyundai, and owner and our good friend, Jay McFarland.
Jay has been supporting The Music Hall through Hampton Ford Hyundai since the 2014-15 season. This winter, Jay grew his Corporate Partnership commitment even further, offering to match contributions to our Give the Gift of Magic campaign (up to $5,000). With his support—and yours —this year’s campaign was a huge success and allowed The Music Hall to provide complimentary tickets to Annie to hundreds of people who might not otherwise have been able to attend.
As the Historic Theater bustled with folks enjoying the festive decor, we took a moment to ask Jay about the power of the arts and of family. He noted, “My parents and grandparents were always keen to go the theater and adored live music. Those memories carry you forward for years, and I am so happy to be able to support that at The Music Hall. My parents and grandparents would be very pleased.”
Jay added, “My son is working on a career in the music industry today in New York and I am super jealous!”
When asked about partnering with The Music Hall, Jay described the relationship as a “win-win from start to finish.” He said, “It’s a feel-good with results and friendships. I am inspired to do more for the community and that is a direct result of The Music Hall.”
