A new class of Local Legends and Corporate Champions is recognized yearly for their generosity during Overture Center for the Arts’ Match Campaign. Overture Center has announced its 2023 Local Legend, an anonymous couple, and its Corporate Champion, Madison Gas and Electric (MG&E) Foundation, a regulated utility primarily serving the Madison metropolitan area with electricity, gas, and green energy options.
MG&E Foundation was a Corporate Champion in Overture’s first class in 2012. It supported Kids in the Rotunda, International Festival, and the Jerry Awards in their early years to help the programs expand.
Overture’s Local Legends and Corporate Champions have pledged funds in a challenge to area residents and businesses to support the arts at Overture Center during its annual fundraising match campaign, now through Sunday, Dec. 31. All donations will be matched up to $200,000.
Thanks to Local Legend and Corporate Champion contributions of $100,000 or more each to challenge Overture’s community of supporters, the annual match campaign has raised more than $10 million over the past decade. Local Legends and Corporate Champions are given permanent recognition in Overture’s Rotunda.
