Square Society Donates $40,000 To Center In The Square

Square Society

The Square Society Board of Directors is proud to present the Center in the Square with a check this year for $40,000 at the Center in the Square Annual Dinner being held tonight at the Hotel Roanoke’s Crystal Ballroom. Combined with previous donations, the Square Society has now raised a total of $278,872 since their founding in 1998 for Center in the Square.

With a strong membership of active, young, and young-minded professionals dedicated to creating a foundation for future assistance to Center in the Square, The Square Society has experienced a very successful year that has included an increase in community support. The success of this year’s events have been extremely rewarding, allowing for this large donation in unrestricted funds that can be used to meet Center in the Square’s operational needs. “These donations each year are based on the success of our events, the dedication of the board members, and the increase in our membership,” explains Jenny Roberts, president of the Square Society. “With all those items are put together, the Square Society is proud to be able to present our single largest donation to Center in the Square at tonight’s Annual Dinner.”

The Square Society is equally excited about the year to come as the focus continues on raising awareness for Center in the Square and providing its members with educational and volunteer opportunities that promote the arts, culture, science, history and funds.  These are very exciting times for both Center in the Square and the Square Society.
