Charles and Lois Stockey Endowment Fund
In 2002, long-time Festival of the Sound supporters Charles and Lois Stockey made a donation of $1.7 million to name the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts. At last the Festival had a home, an intimate performance hall that has come to be ranked as one of the finest in the world for chamber music. During the 25th Anniversary Season in 2004, the Festival Board established the Charles and Lois Stockey Endowment Fund to honour our benefactors. To ensure the long-term health of the organization, all donations directed to this fund are invested, with the interest used to support annual operations.
Charles Stockey died in September of 2004 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Lois lives in Victoria but maintains a keen interest in news from Parry Sound and looks forward to her annual visit for the summer concert series.
Information about the Charles and Lois Stockey Endowment Fund is available at all Festival of the Sound concerts. Speak to one of the Directors wearing a “gold badge” or call the Festival Office. Contributions of any size are welcome and are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
