MENASHA CORPORATION FOUNDATION SUPPORTS
MISSION OF FOX CITIES PERFORMING
ARTS CENTER
$100,000 Donation Will Help Sustain On-Going Activities of P.A.C.

November 13, 2007, NEENAH, WI…..The Menasha Corporation Foundation today announced a gift of $100,000 to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center (P.A.C.). The funds will be used to support operations, ensure community access and support community engagement activities.

“Menasha Corporation and its Foundation are extremely proud to be able to continue our tradition of support for the P.A.C., which began with our commitment to the capital campaign which helped build the facility,” said Menasha Corporation Foundation President Ralph L. Evans, in making the announcement. “We understand the importance of the educational, cultural and social impacts which the P.A.C. provides and we want to ensure that our employees and their families, as well as the entire community, continue have the opportunity to enjoy the P.A.C.’s diverse artistic programs.”

The donation was made from the Foundation’s “Field of Interest Award” fund, which focuses on awards that will make a significant impact on the community at large.

“Menasha Corporation has been a strong supporter of the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center since the very beginning,” stated Susan Stockton, president of the P.A.C. “Its incredibly generous commitment to the Center and our Community Engagement Activities will certainly strengthen our ability to deliver on the key component of our mission of serving as a gathering place for the community to engage in the arts.”

Through support announced earlier in 2007, the Menasha Corporation Foundation also helped fund the P.A.C.’s Educational Series presentations of the Wisconsin-based American Players Theatre’s production of “The Merchant of Venice” in early November and the Mad River Theater Works’ production of “Freedom Bound” in January 2008.
