Thank you for attending our 2024 Gala.
Your generosity is so greatly valued.
As a non-profit organization, the Emelin Theatre does so much more than present incredible music, film, dance, and comedy. Core to the Emelin’s mission is providing access to the arts to those who would not otherwise be able to experience a live performance. Funds raised through the Gala support our efforts to offer free and subsidized school outreach tickets to local students, help us collaborate with the Village of Mamaroneck to host free summer concerts, allow us to provide an affordable performance venue to arts organizations in our area, and so much more!
Thank you again for your support of the Emelin and our mission. Your donations provide programming to help bring the arts to our region and community.

We are committed to provide programming to help bring the arts to our region and community. Here are just some of the community outreach and partnership initiatives successfully implemented over the last few years:

- In the same time period, we provided an additional 4,000 subsidized tickets for students all across Westchester County
- In partnership with the Village of Mamaroneck, we provided free Summer Concerts in the Park to over 6,500 people
- Provided hundreds of complimentary tickets t underserved and immigrant populations through through partnerships with organizations like Community Resource Center
- Invested in programming and marketing to better serve our diverse and multi-lingual community with artists like Sonia De Los Santos and 123 Andrés
- Continued partnerships with other Westchester County-based arts non-profits like Ballet des Amériques (Nutcracker Dream) and Artistree Community Theatre (Guys & Dolls)
