Founders Circle sponsors will be recognized forever for their leadership and vision in supporting the Wichita Grand Opera during its developmental stage. Any gift of $5,000 or more donated to the WGO prior to January 1, 2004 qualifies a person or entity to be included in the Founders Circle.  The Founders Circle will be listed in all future programs of the WGO and will be displayed on the Founders Circle wall in Century II Concert Hall. In addition, Founders Circle sponsors will receive an Award Plaque for display, following the close of the Founders Circle.
