Heckman Auditorium Seat Sponsorship

Leave Your Mark on Doane’s Musical Legacy

The music addition and renovation within the Glenn Korff Performing Arts Center will create a dynamic home for creativity, collaboration, and performance at Doane. The new Dr. Tom Tonniges Hall of Music, named in honor of the legendary Doane Vagabonds, will feature state-of-the-art rehearsal rooms, teaching studios, a piano lab, a band room, and classrooms—all designed to elevate music education for generations to come.

As part of this transformation, the historic Heckman Auditorium—a beloved performance space for decades—will continue to shine as the heart of Doane’s musical tradition. By sponsoring one of its 500 seats with a $1,000 gift, you’ll help preserve this storied venue and ensure your name is proudly displayed on the Donor Wall as a Champion for Music at Doane, a lasting tribute to your support and belief in the power of the arts.

Your sponsorship connects you forever to the performances, memories, and milestones that unfold in these spaces.

Take your seat. Leave your legacy. Let the music play on.
