THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Teams Up With The Marcus Center To Fight Hunger 8/29

Food Banks are suffering around the country and The Phantom of the Opera would like to help them fill their "banks." In its last week at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, The Phantom of the Opera would like to give back to the local community by offering a $10 ticket for a donation to Hunger Task Force.

On Saturday, August 29 from 11 am-1 pm non-perishable food donations will be collected at the Marcus Center Box Office located at 929 North Water St, Downtown Milwaukee. For each donated item to Hunger Task Force, patrons will be able to purchase one $10 ticket for the Saturday, August 29, 2:00 pm performance. Limit of 8 tickets per person. Price valid on selected seats while supplies last.

Hunger Task Force is a private, non-profit, anti-hunger organization. We believe that every person has a right to adequate food obtained with dignity. For more than 30 years, the Hunger Task Force has worked to prevent hunger and malnutrition by providing food to people in need today and by promoting social policies to achieve food security tomorrow. We distribute food to the pantries, homeless shelters and meal programs in our network, free of charge.
