Friends of Convos - Purdue Convocations

Friends of Convocations are a dynamic group of arts supporters whose gifts allow Convocations to keep ticket prices low, to bring educational arts programs for students of all ages, and to allow us to make big projects a reality. Revenue from ticket sales only covers 60% of the true costs of our programs, and we don’t receive state funds, so gifts from generous individuals, corporations, and foundations help us close that gap.

All Friends of Convocations enjoy the benefits of early access to ticket sales, the best seat selection and the accumulation of Friends Priority Points. Benefits begin at $50 annually and additional benefits are added at each contribution level.
