You will receive recognition on the text plate next to your Masterpiece, on the exhibition donor wall, on the Frist Center Gala Web site, and in our 2008 Annual Report.

Additionally, Patrons will be recognized on February 20, 2008 at an elegant gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mark McDonald, which will be co-hosted by Mr. and Mrs. David McClellan.
