The Name-A-Chair Project
Sponsored by Niskayuna Friends of Music

Everyone -- parents, businesses, community members, staff -- is invited to donate to the future success of the Niskayuna Performing Arts programs by sponsoring a seat in the refurbished High School Auditorium.

The names of those making a pledge will be engraved on brass plates inset on an arm of one of the 1,000-plus seats.

Niskayuna High School auditorium

Seats are assigned on a first-come first-serve basis, beginning with the center seats in the front of the auditorium. Your engraving will remain for the life of the auditorium.

Use of funds raised
The goal is to establish a fund that will promote the Performing Arts through facility improvement and program enhancement within the auditorium.

A Name-A-Chair Advisory Committee will work with the school district to determine the best use of funds raised, including:

  • Improved equipment, such as additional lighting for the auditorium.
  • Additional student and program opportunities, such as artists in residence, and special performing arts events in the auditorium.

A minimum donation is $125 per chair arm for individuals and families or a minimum of $250 for businesses. This donation is tax-deductible.

There are 30 to 40 letters (including spaces and punctuation) available per plate, divided into two rows. No messages please -- only names of individuals or businesses will be engraved. Engraving can include graduation dates. A sample plate:

Judy Smith
Class of 1999
