Greetings from the Augusta Director...

Greetings!

Welcome Augusta family members new and familiar! From waltzing across the dance floor to participating in class, attending world class concerts to sharing your music or craft, you

are an essential part of what makes Augusta a success. We are grateful for your involvement and strive to continue our mission of providing high quality and completely immersive

education to all ages and walks of life for years to come.

For more than 45 years, Augusta has been dedicated to preserving and nurturing American culture and tradition. We value connecting all learners face-to-face and knee-to-knee. Folk

music, folklore, and pioneer skills by very definition can only be passed from one generation to the next through meaningful personal interaction. With support from Davis & Elkins

College and the Augusta community we have succeeded in passing these valuable practices down for nearly half a century, but we need your support to ensure our quality

programming will be there for the generations yet to come.

Our goal is to raise $70,000 yearly in gifts and commitments from people just like you - individuals who love Augusta and support our rich legacy and future endeavors. We hope as

you reflect on your Augusta memories that you will consider “Passing It On” by donating to the Augusta General Fund or to the Augusta Scholarship Fund.

The Augusta General Fund pays for the details that make the Augusta experience so profound. This includes everything from the master artists in our programming to preserving and

sharing the incredible recordings of the Augusta collection. Our concerts, the Augusta Festival, the W.Va. Fiddlers' Reunion, the W. Va. Instrument Makers Gathering, Pickin’ in the

Park, and community dances are all funded by this budget!

The Augusta Scholarship Fund directly supports artists who would otherwise not be able to participate in our program. As a music teacher in Randolph County, I was able to witness

firsthand the transformative process afforded to students who attended Augusta classes on scholarship. For many, it set them down a path of lifelong learning and enrichment. In the

coming season, our goal is to increase access to music and art education, and scholarships will be integral in this effort. Your support opens a path of opportunity to someone that

would not have it elsewise.

Augusta is supported through grant funding and Davis & Elkins College, but a significant portion of what we are able to accomplish is made possible by small individual donations.

Together they add up to a significant investment, and it is due to this investment that we are able to continue the important work of carrying out our mission. Please consider giving

the gift that is the Augusta Heritage Center to the future. We greatly appreciate and need your support.

Please donate online at augustaheritagecenter.org, by mail to Augusta Heritage Center, 100 Campus Drive, Elkins, WV 26241, or in the Augusta Office while you are here!

If you have any questions, please contact me at (304) 637-1254 or [email protected].

We hope to see you at Augusta in 2020!

Seth Young, Director

Augusta Heritage Center of Davis & Elkins College • AugustaHeritageCenter.org • 304.637-1209
