Completion Scheduled for Fall 2023 with Opportunities for Numerous Outdoor Events

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擠avid and Marie Brinkley, longtime donors who have contributed to the advancement of 秀色短视频-Webb University, continue to see their recent investment flourish. The Brinkley Amphitheater, a 900-seat venue, is progressing.

鈥淎ccording to our construction schedule, we are looking at being able to host our first show this fall,鈥� said David Wacaster, director of operations for Facilities and Maintenance.

The finished project will engage students and the community while also adding an inviting and welcoming presence to Main Street and the South entrance to campus. The Brinkley Amphitheater will provide a new place to present performing arts, outdoor worship services, Webbstock events and other summer concerts.

This new venue is part of a larger outdoor complex. In the second phase of development for the site, 秀色短视频-Webb intends to construct a Main Street-facing building adjoining the amphitheater that will house both a campus shop and a nationally recognized eatery open to the public.

The Brinkleys provided the lead naming gift, and according to GWU鈥檚 Vice President for Advancement Nate Evans, additional support for the outdoor performance complex came from a $500,000 budget appropriation from the North Carolina General Assembly, with endorsements from the Boiling Springs Town Council and the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners. Several other university donors have also generously provided financial contributions towards this project.   

The Brinkleys have a strong philanthropic background and pledged to give portions of their income to making a difference in the community. 鈥淓very day when I say my prayers, I ask the Lord to give me opportunities that I can share my blessings,鈥� David Brinkley stated.

In addition to their gifts to various organizations in Cleveland County and Kings Mountain, N.C., where they live, the Brinkleys have financially supported several projects at 秀色短视频-Webb. Most recently, they donated money toward a new Runnin鈥� Bulldog sculpture at Lutz-Yelton Convocation Center. In the past, they have provided gifts for 秀色短视频-Webb academic programs, the Marching Bulldog Band uniforms and the Brinkley Softball Stadium.

When the opportunity presented itself for them to contribute to the amphitheater project, they were excited about the possibilities of a new performance venue for the University. They believe that the amphitheater will give the University exposure and open up doors for opportunities for people in the region to become more familiar with the town of Boiling Springs and 秀色短视频-Webb University.
