GIVE BACK TO THE MAC THIS MONDAY!
|
|
|
|
|
The Countdown to 2021 has started with the New Year being just 18 days away. With only one Monday remaining in 2020, “MAC MONDAYS” will highlight just some of what the Middletown Arts Center has meant to the community this year.
The MAC is still feeling the effects from COVID-19 closures and restrictions, in addition to the devastating flood that damaged the beloved Middletown Arts Center earlier this year and is asking that you please consider making an end-of-year donation to our non-profit to help keep the arts alive in our community in 2021. Now is a great time to make that donation. The CARES Act allows taxpayers who don’t itemize to take a charitable deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions and also temporarily suspends limits on charitable contributions. Your donation of any size will help the MAC continue its mission of enriching the community through arts programming education, entertainment and cultural connection for individuals of all ages and abilities.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of the Middletown Arts Center.
