Ford Center Oak Tree

Add your Name to the Celebration of the Arts Tree! 

Ford Center Oak Tree

For 20 years, the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts has hosted thousands of memorable events, performances, competitions and ceremonies for the University of Mississippi community. You probably have attended a few of them – and possibly even participated in them!

As we celebrate two decades of meaningful moments at the Ford Center, we invite you to make your mark and leave a lasting legacy of your own. The golden Celebration of the Arts tree in the Ford Center lobby features the names of the Center’s loyal supporters emblazoned on bronze leaves, acorns and boughs. With a gift of $1,000 or more, your name will be counted among them – forever.

Your oak leaf, acorn or bough contribution ensures that we can continue to attract national touring companies and provide students and faculty with a state-of-art showcase for their talents.

Let’s all come together to protect and sustain the Ford Center for another 20 years. Add your name to the Celebration of the Arts tree and secure your Ford Center legacy while ensuring its future!
