Your Philanthropy and Its Impact
The “magic of Interlochen.” Since my June 2019 arrival on campus, alumni, parents, faculty, and friends uttered this phrase again and again. With boundless enthusiasm, they shared stories, memories, and the assurance that I would understand that magic soon enough.
I’ve seen that magic throughout the year, often through the impact of your philanthropic support. For instance...
Escaping the snowy January landscape into the Herbert H. and Barbara C. Dow Center for Visual Arts, I was rejuvenated by the stunning color and energy of a juried student art show, each piece representing months of dedication and hard work by our talented students, applying the highly-specialized training that your gifts make possible... Tuning my radio to Classical IPR on Saturday morning and hearing Music by Request , I enjoyed listening to classical favorites requested by listeners. The all-classical station—one of just 66 in the country—continues to broadcast, thanks to your support... During the remarkable 2020 Miami "ONE" tour, I saw Interlochen students greeted as celebrities after a mini-Collage performance in Vero Beach and again after the performance at New World Center in Miami. The response of the audiences demonstrated the power of the arts to create intergenerational connections. Philanthropic support made that experience possible for 118 Interlochen students. This year, 7,037 individuals and 180 organizations made a gift to Interlochen. If you were one of those 7,217 donors—thank you again. Your belief in the power of Interlochen to inspire and change lives through the arts has manifested extraordinary things, as highlighted on these pages.
Sincerely,
John Bogley Vice President, Philanthropy
