USA Gets $20-Million Gift For Performing Arts Center

The University of South Alabama (USA) President Jo Bonner recently announced receipt of a $20-million gift for construction of a new performing arts center. Philanthropist and longtime USA supporter Abraham “Abe” Mitchell made the gift, which makes his lifetime donations to the university $120 million. He is now one of the largest donors to a public university in the state. The site of the future building is yet to be determined, and further fundraising is ongoing. Once completed, the advanced facility will complement the current Laidlaw Performing Arts Center. USA said it will serve both the university and the entire Mobile community. “Mr. Mitchell’s generosity allows us to take the next big step toward advancing the arts, both on campus and throughout the region,” Bonner added.
