About this fundraiser:

The RJ Reynolds Arts Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding individuals associated with RJ Reynolds High School who have graduated or have been associated with the arts at Reynolds, and/or who have been selected for their contributions to the arts and creative fields through their professional work, community service, or education. Our inductees for 2025 are:

Andrea Freeman, Class of 1987, Potter
Bonnie Angelo, Author/Journalist
Ellen Denham, Class of 1986, opera singer & director, professor
Eric Johnson, Class of 1982, film sound engineer
Matt Kendrick, Class of 1976, Musician--jazz, director, educator
Rioghnach Robinson, Class of 2012, Author, composer, singer
Robbie Bach, Class of 1980, author and Microsoft Exec--one of the founders of Xbox
Roby Walls, taught from 1972-2002, Teacher and Key Club Sponsor

Your contribution/sponsorship will support the event that honors these artists AND the continuation of the Arts Magnet Program at Reynolds. Funds will be used to cover the costs of a school-wide event on Friday, February 21st, the community event on February 22nd, one or more scholarships for RJ Reynolds Seniors, and the Reynolds arts programs.
Please review these sponsorship opportunities and consider what level is the best fit for your family/organization. Not only will you receive valuable benefits from your sponsorship during the Arts Hall of Fame, but you will also support excellent arts programs and a comprehensive arts education for current and future Reynolds students.

On Saturday evening, February 22nd, in the historic RJ Reynolds Auditorium, there will be a red carpet event modeled after the Kennedy Center Honors program during which current RJR students will creatively honor the inductees, friends will speak on their behalf, and some honorees themselves will inspire the audience either in person or through video.

We hope that you will thoughtfully consider sponsorship and join us for this event, and that you will find this the perfect time to celebrate arts in education, RJ Reynolds High School, and these special inductees.
With appreciation,
