The Tribute Tree

Located in the vestibule of the Main Stage Theatre, the Tribute Tree is designed to recognize those we love and admire – an alumnus, graduating senior or a special student. You can also honor someone who touched your life such as a teacher, or a loved one, you want to remember.

Each leaf is approximately 4” by 1.5” and will be engraved with the name of the honoree. The cost is $100 per leaf. Please e-mail us at info@friendsofsota.org for more details.

All proceeds from the Tribute Tree become part of an endowment fund to support School of the Arts students.
