Interlochen Center for the Arts 2020 Annual Report

AN INTERLOCHEN LEGACY Cathy Stephenson first came to know Interlochen through her husband, the legendary Camp theatre instructor Dude Stephenson. She deepened that relationship as a Camp theatre faculty member and as a Camp parent, watching her son grow during summers among the pines. As a member of the President’s Club, Cathy’s leadership annual giving is a testament to her family’s Interlochen legacy, honoring today’s and tomorrow’s creative spirits. “Interlochen transformed my life in such a positive, unexpected way that I feel compelled to do what I can to share that experience with those who come after me. Every concert, every performance, and presentation is a gift that transports me back to the very first day I stepped onto campus, and at the same time gives me hope for the future.” — Cathy Stephenson

PAVING THE WAY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION Arts Academy faculty member Brian McCall has been dedicated to Interlochen for more than 20 years. An instructor of history and political science, Brian demonstrates the interconnected relationship between the arts and academics in his classroom every day. Passionate about his students’ dreams, Brian understands the essential impact leadership annual giving has on their Interlochen experience. As both a sustaining monthly donor to Interlochen Public Radio and a member of the W. Clement Stone Society, Brian’s generous and consistent annual giving is paving the way for the next generation of artists and their advocates.

“The arts, music, culture, and the news are essential human needs almost as important as food, clothing, and shelter. Interlochen and IPR are producers and keepers of these critical elements of human—and humane—society. Giving to Interlochen is helping to protect and preserve a place and an idea where art matters.” — Brian McCall, Liberal Arts Instructor
