Just before our council meeting on Monday, we were invited to the town hall lobby for a cheque presentation to the Milton Centre for the Arts. Local business MinMaxx added their name to the list of corporate donors by pledging $150,000.
Azim Rizvee, Broker of Record, MinMaxx Realty Inc. stated that “…it is another way for us to pay back to the community where we live and work, and our kids play and study every day. Thank you, Milton, for helping us help everyone we all call “neighbours” through our ongoing partnership!”
Azim and his family make Milton their home as well, so it just seemed natural for them to make a further investment in our community. MinMaxx joins a growing list of major donors that include Mattamy Homes, Holcim, Cogeco, Chudleighs and others who have made major investments in our arts centre.
The Town of Milton’s goal is to have $2.2 million in donations and we are inching ever so close to that amount. You can find out more information about our coroporate sponsors and how you can put your mark on the new Arts Centre by going to www.investinthearts.ca
Many thanks to all of our corporate and personal sponsors of the Milton Centre for the Arts. Every dollar pledged helps offset some of the costs involved in operating the facility. Speaking with many of you during the most recent municipal election campaign I heard that this project, while useful, should have been put off for a few more years until Milton grew and is able to support such a facility from a financial aspect. Unfortunately, we cannot reverse the decision so we as a council have to do what we can to get more involvement from our corporate citizens like the ones who have already donated.
We can make this work!
