Friends of the Brooks Center
The Friends of the Brooks Center is an active organization of loyal patrons who share a love and appreciation of the arts. Our Friends give generously of their time, energy and money in order to strengthen the performing arts in the Clemson community.
There are many ways to give including by phone, mail, recurring draft or by faculty/staff payroll deduction. Visit the "ways to give" page to learn more.
Find out if your company offers gift matching by searching Clemson's gift-matching database.
