[ARCHIVED] “HAMILTON” AIDS EVENT SERIES

“HAMILTON” AIDS EVENT SERIES

Agawam Cultural Council receives first $10 donation toward erasing Applause Series $650 budget shortfall.


(Agawam, Mass.) Six months of fundraising by the Agawam Cultural Council in support of season seventeen of its popular Applause Series abruptly came to an end this spring as everything shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. Normally, freewill donations at these “first Friday” events would cover any shortfall. However, with only “virtual” performances on the schedule, the opportunity to collect the $650 difference a few dollars at a time has been eliminated.


Sheila of Agawam was the first to commit her Hamilton to the cause. The Council is now challenging 64 like-minded members of the community to help raise the amount needed to fully fund the upcoming season – in $10 increments – though larger amounts are certainly welcome! Whatever amount you can provide will be gratefully appreciated.


Please make your check out to the Agawam Cultural Council and send to Agawam Cultural Council, Agawam Town Hall, 36 Main Street, Agawam, MA 01001. Make sure to include an email so that we may acknowledge your contribution.

Since 2004, the Applause Series has hosted more than 130+ musicians, artists, authors, actors, photographers, children’s productions, historians, and others at Friday evening presentations that outgrew the Agawam Public Library, prompting a move to larger quarters at the Agawam Senior Center in order to accommodate its growing audience.

The seventeenth season of the Applause Series, consisting of twelve events, begins Friday, September 4, 2020 and will end Friday, June 4, 2021. All events will be broadcast on Agawam Comcast Channel 15 and streamed on www.agawammedia.tv until public performances can be held safely. More information can be found at www.agawamcc.org.

The Agawam Cultural Council is an all-volunteer local partner of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and is funded, in part, by the MCC. The ACC is charged with bringing engaging, entertaining, and educational events and opportunities in the arts, humanities, and sciences, to children and adults from Agawam and the surrounding communities. There is no charge to join or to serve in the Council.
