(Murfreesboro) Center for the Arts Executive Director Patience Long is all smiles as public support enabled the arts group to raise most of the funds to qualify for a matching donation.

Long commented, "We're only $5,000 away from our goal of $25,000 for the theatre's rehabilitation campaign! Money from this campaign is supporting much-needed updates to the historic building--including new lighting and new curtains currently being installed on the stage!"

Long said, "The Center for the Arts is $5,000 away from securing an additional $25,000 matching grant! We could not be more thankful to have your support during this season of giving!"

Help us reach our goal before the end of the year!
