Center for Puppetry Arts' String Fling Gala
Saturday, September 11, 2010
at the JW Marriott Buckhead
Atlanta, GA


11th Annual Fundraiser benefiting the Center for Puppetry Arts
Each year friends and patrons of the Center come together to share in the joy of giving to one of the most unique arts organizations in the world. Funds generated by the String Fling Gala help make the Center's arts-infused educational programming accessible to children of all backgrounds and circumstances. Charitable support fuels the Center's ability to provide free and reduced-price admissions to local children while fostering innovative programs that inspire creativity. The Center is truly an Atlanta treasure.


Thanks to all of our generous donors and sponsors, String Fling 2009 was a tremendous success. The event raised over $200,000 to support the Center’s programs!
