Corporate Partners

Corporate Partners is a unique opportunity for companies of all sizes to support The Mann and for business professionals who have a passion for the performing arts, enjoy meeting new people, and giving back to the community.

Throughout the year, Corporate Partners receive multiple benefits including tickets and parking passes, invitations to special events, and visibility in concert programs. They also receive seasonal passes to the Pitcairn Donor Terrace.

Members support The Mann Center’s longstanding commitment to providing access to the performing arts for all residents of Philadelphia, including its children. Over the past 11 years Corporate Partners has provided the leadership to raise over $750,000 for the Young Peoples' Concert Series and The Mann's other education programs for under-served youth.

Corporate Partners actively participate in one or more committees – all of which make significant contributions to The Mann. Their participation helps to increase their firm’s visibility and commitment to the greater Philadelphia cultural community.

• Annual Golf Tournament and Auction, which provide support for The Mann’s education programs for Philadelphia’s underserved youth
• Volunteer opportunities at local festivals with The Mann’s Education and Community Engagement Department and at The Mann during performances
• Networking and Friend-Raising Events provide opportunities for members to socialize and make new contacts in the greater corporate community
