The Ruth Eckerd Hall Foundation has been selected as the charity of choice for The Legends Tour Open Championship. Through this partnership, all ticket proceeds will be donated to the Foundation in support of The Marcia P. Hoffman Performing Arts Institute. In addition, Ruth Eckerd Hall will provide performances for the Tournament’s private evening events.

The purpose of the Marcia P. Hoffman Performing Arts Institute is to provide lifelong learning opportunities which provide accessibility, exploration, discovery and mastery of the arts.  The institution encompasses three distinct arts education divisions; producing, presenting and instruction.  Each division goes far beyond the walls of the Hoffman Institute into schools, community centers, hospitals, specialty residencies and other arts centers throughout Pinellas County, the State of Florida and the east coast of the United States of America. 

Designed by the prestigious Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Ruth Eckerd Hall is known for its 2,180-seat, acoustically perfect auditorium. Artists from America and around the world, ranging from classical, rock, opera, Broadway, jazz, pop and more are included in the stellar lineup of more than 200 performances a year. Ruth Eckerd Hall is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 performing arts centers in the country. Ruth Eckerd Hall and the Ruth Eckerd Hall Foundation are 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organizations.
