The Center has been able to operate in the black for the three previous years and has increased its donor base while building on its programming and educational outreach efforts. Ticket buyers have come from all 50 states and 22 countries around the world. Revenues have also increased from building and room rentals while the Center seeks to create and attract events each day of the week throughout the year.
