Make a Donation in Honor of a Loved One
A gift to the Cinema Arts Centre can be a fitting and meaningful way to honor a friend or family member on a special occasion, or to remember a loved one who has passed. When you make a donation, follow the prompts during check out to enter tribute or memorial information. For more information or assistance, please call René Bouchard, Director of Development at 631-423-7610, ext. 18 or email rene@cinemaartscentre.org.
Dedicate a Brick or Seat Plaque
Seat Plaques:
Become a physical part of the Cinema Arts Centre by placing a custom plaque on one of our seats. Your message will be a highly visible part of these theaters for the full life of the seats, and is a great way to make your mark on the Cinema! Seat plaques won’t save your seat for you, but they do show how much you care about our Cinema community, and seeing yours can enrich your visits to the CAC! For more information, please call René Bouchard, Director of Development at 631-423-7610, ext. 18 or email rene@cinemaartscentre.org. Or download this form.
Bricks:
Leave your permanent mark with personalized engraved bricks in our sculpture garden. This is a lasting tax-deductible way to make a gift in memory or in honor of a friend, family member, loved one, colleague, student or to remember a special occasion, such as a birthday, anniversary, graduation or holiday. For more information, please call Jason Salvant at 631-423-7610, ext. 11 or email jason@cinemaartscentre.org

Make a Planned Gift
One powerful way to show your support for the future of the Cinema Arts Centre is to become a member of the Cinema Legacy Society by including the Cinema in your estate plans. The simplest way to make a planned gift is through bequest in one’s will, or to make the Cinema a partial beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
Sponsor a Program
Both financial sponsors and in-kind sponsors are very important to the Cinema Arts Centre, helping us to reduce our program expenses while creating the best programming possible for our constituents. Sponsors benefit from a wide range of outreach opportunities and are acknowledged with great visibility.
Other Naming and Dedication Opportunities
Are you looking for a way to have a deep impact on the Cinema Arts Centre that will be remembered for years to come? Name our gallery space, our garden walkway, or dedicate one of our garden trees.
Named for our Co-Founder Vic Skolnick after he died in 2010, the Vic Skolnick Life of Our CInema Campaign is our most crucial effort to bring general operating funds to the CInema, making our mission and our community programs possible. Our 2025 goal was to raise $230,000.
