Bench Naming Opportunities

At the gateway of campus, the Epstein Family Amphitheater will serve as a town square where every member of our community can gather, connect, restore, and celebrate through the power of performing arts. 

Join us and MAKE YOUR MARK on the new Epstein Family Amphitheater.

Rows in the lower bowl and Alcoves in the lower & upper section of the Amphitheater are now available for naming. The schematic below highlights the available rows and correlating giving levels.

All funds raised by the row naming initiative will go directly to help offset lower student ticket pricing and fund future live performances via the Epstein Family Amphitheater Programmatic Fund.

For inquiries, please contact Colleen Kollar Smith at colleen@ucsd.edu.
