SPONSORSHIP

SPONSORSHIP

SPONSOR BENEFITS

Our Sponsors are the true stars in our mission to build a state-of-the-art venue showcasing the performing arts in the western suburbs of Chicago.  We deeply appreciate their help and could not do it without them.

One of the most exciting aspects of ECPA is its potential to create a new customer base for local businesses. According to Americans for the Arts, resident theater goers spend an average of $31.47 per person at local businesses; this is above the cost of admission. That figure goes up to $39.96 when out-of-towners visit.

Closer to home, ECPA and the City of Elmhurst commissioned a study with Johnson Consulting where the results were even more positive. Each patron who sees a show at ECPA would bring $49.50 to the community, resulting in $7.8 million in additional spending to local businesses.

By supporting ECPA today, you join the many partners who have already invested in our collective futures while giving back to the community that supports you.  ECPA has achieved tremendous support as we continue to move forward. We actively encourage our donors, supporters, volunteers, and audiences to choose our partners when making purchasing decisions.  We hope you will join us in our journey.

With each fundraising event, ECPA will provide specific benefits for Sponsors including recognition on our website, in event programs and in printed and social media.  These events reach members of the Elmhurst community, surrounding suburbs and throughout the country. 

ECPA welcomes Corporate as well as In-Kind support in our Sponsorship levels.  For further information on becoming an ECPA Sponsor, please contact the ECPA office at 224-283-7889 or [email protected].

ECPA is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, registered in the state of Illinois. All donations are tax-deductible. ECPA thanks our current sponsors for their generosity and continued support of the arts in our community.  They are invaluable to our success.  Be sure to thank them for their support of ECPA the next time you see them.

Healing on a Higher Note: ECPA’s Freedom Sings Event Featured in Elmhurst Magazine

A huge thank you to Elmhurst Magazine, and to co-authors Laura Michaud and Melissa G. Wilson, for capturing the story of our recent Freedom Sings collaboration. Laura, a founding member of ECPA and  ECPA's Board Secretary, brought her firsthand perspective as event co-chair to this piece, alongside Melissa's talent for storytelling.

The article walks through how Nashville's Freedom Sings paired professional songwriters with local veterans for an extraordinary one-day process: intimate morning sessions where veterans shared deeply personal stories, followed by a live evening performance where those stories became original songs, debuted on stage and dedicated to the veterans who inspired them.

Veterans including Christine Seagrave and Staci Boyer spoke to how profoundly the experience affected them, and the night closed with the audience calling for the event's return next year.
