The Wright Family Performing Arts and Entertainment Foundation
The Wright Family Performing Arts and Entertainment Foundation was established to enrich the arts and entertainment scene in Strathroy, aligning with the vision of the Wright Family benefactors. The foundation's commitment extends to creating a supportive space for artistic growth and entertainment, making a meaningful impact on local artists and the community.
For generations the Wright family name has been synonymous with philanthropy and community service in Strathroy-Caradoc and surrounding area. The generous contributions of siblings Don, Bill, Clark, Ernest, and Mary Wright have been attached to several significant community projects. This legacy lives on through the efforts of the Wright Family Performing Arts and Entertainment Centre Foundation, which makes funds available to the community to support performing arts and cultural initiatives.
