Visionary Ball 2021 Donor Report

DEAR SUPP AND HOST C MEMBERS, Said a couple to me, “Deb, we logged onto Zoom thinking we would just have the Visionary Ball program on in the background this evening, but we couldn’t help but stay engaged for the entire event. Thank you for such a charming program!”

If any museum’s programs have charm, it’s definitely ours. Intuit continues to be a platform for audiences to learn, share and reflect, and part of that comes from our personable board, staff and volunteers, but the soul of what keeps Intuit so grounded is you, Intuit’s supporters and friends.

Thank you for your commitment to another year of outstanding exhibitions, public learning events and educational outreach—programs that more than

PORTERS COMMITTEE 71,000 audience members rely on each year. It is thrilling that Visionary Ball raised more than $109,000 for these critical programs. What a terrific birthday send-off into the next 30 years of Intuit!

Do stay in touch often, enjoy the summer, and join me at one of Intuit’s numerous in-person and online activities soon!

Warm regards,

Debra Kerr President and CEO
