Leave a Legacy.

Whether you are one of the thousands of student performers who have graced the Umstattd stage, or you are one of hundreds of thousands who have been seated in the audience for a school play, band concert, chorus showcase or Canton Symphony Orchestra performance, one thing is certain…Umstattd Performing Arts Hall, the Canton City Schools, and the Canton Symphony Orchestra have had a significant impact on us all.

After our capital campaign renovations completed in 2013, our hall is more accessible than ever before with rows of beautiful brand-new seats. Many donors invested in our renovations by making a meaningful gift through our Take Your Seat program, creating their legacy in our hall and/or dedicating engraved seats to their loved ones.

There are still seats available for you to do the same.

How does it work?

With your gift, we will engrave a donor recognition plaque in the chair armrest with your name or the name of a friend or loved one whom you would like to memorialize. Plaques can also be a unique way to recognize a group, class, or commemorate a special achievement or significant event.

Take Your Seat to become a permanent part of the CSO and McKinley High School legacy.
