The "Hylton Challenge"
The Cecil and Irene Hylton Foundation has made a very generous $5 million grant to the project. In recognition of this leadership support the center will be named the Hylton Performing Arts Center. $2.5 million of the grant is in the form or a “challenge” or matching grant. For every dollar raised for the center, the Hylton Foundation will match that gift dollar for dollar up to a total of $2.5 million. Thus far $1,039,257 has been raised toward the Hylton Challenge. The second $2.5 million is an outright grant.
