In honor of Mike Halligan’s retirement as Executive Director of the Dennis & Phyllis Washington Foundation, we surprised him with a personalized star, which is now hanging on our Galaxy of Stars wall. The Missoula Children’s Theatre is deeply grateful to Mike for his long-term advocacy for the arts and for the Missoula Children’s Theatre. The Washington Foundation has supported our Montana Tour since 2004. Thank-you Mike, and thank you Dennis & Phyllis Washington Foundation!
“Dennis and Phyllis Washington have a deep passion for helping youth realize their dreams and one of the best ways of investing in kids’ futures is through the performing arts. The Foundation is honored to partner with the Missoula Children’s Theatre to give Montana’s youth life changing skills that will serve them for a lifetime,” said Mike.
From West Glacier Elementary: “It is a tradition to bring Missoula Children’s Theater to our small school in West Glacier. Students and families look forward to it every year. Because we are a small, rural school, our funding for the arts is also small. The Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation Scholarship has and hopefully will continue to make theater arts possible for West Glacier Elementary students!”
