ANOTHER ARTS' ANGEL - As a result of the amazing challenge
that Pam and Marty Wygod just recently sent out to the San Diego
community, another ARTS Angel has come forward........On the
recommendation of Laura Galinson, ARTS (A Reason to Survive) was
thrilled to receive a $150,000 gift from the Price-Galinson Collaborative
Fund of the San Diego Foundation! Laura has been a wonderful and
dedicated supporter of ARTS and has given both personally and through
the Price-Galinson Fund for the last three years. Her terrific gift of $150k
will be matched by the Rose Foundation, as promised in the Wygod's
own challenge grant!

This campaign has raised $450k in the first month! Pretty amazing......
We are off to a sensational start! SO, TAKE THE CHALLENGE!
Donate to the ARTS Center and Endowment Campaign by April 30
and have your gift (up to $300,000) matched by Pam and Marty Wygod!
Please visit www.artsurvive.org.

Editor's Note - Pam and Marty Wygod are also wonderful supporters of the San Diego Opera
