On June 4th , 2022, Santa Clara University will be holding it's 56th Annual Golden Circle Theatre Party. This long-established event is noted to be a premier event in the Valley, attended by University supporters and leaders in the community.
Traditionally, this event takes place in downtown San Jose (the CPA and former Fairmont Hotel). The Golden Circle did not take place last year due to covid.
Knowing an indoor event would be difficult if not impossible, the decision was made by the Board of Fellows Executive Committee to move the event to campus. In the last 30 years, the Golden Circle has been held on campus twice in addition to the Super Bowl 50 Celebration with a concert featuring Huey Lewis.
While this is a major fundraiser for the University raising over 2 million in scholarship donations, it is also an opportunity to celebrate with the students and faculty/staff after a challenging couple of years.
Attendance counts:
1522 guests (tickets ranging from $600 to $2,000 per ticket) Demographics for those who purchase tickets range from 45 to 85 years old.) 920 students (guests of the Board of Fellows)
352 faculty/staff (guests of the Board of Fellows)
