May 2, 2024 at 6:00pm at the Fayetteville Public Library; Join us in support of Education and Access to Remarkable Live Theatre

presiding co-chairs, Maria & Joseph Godsey

Joseph Godsey is the senior vice president and chief supply chain officer at Sam’s Club, responsible for getting the right products to members and clubs when they expect them. He is an active outdoor enthusiast, regeneration advocate, and coach of his kid’s recreational soccer teams.

Maria Godsey is a REALTOR® with Keller Williams, an author, and an active volunteer. She is not just passionate about real estate but also about fostering a sustainable future and encouraging others to make a positive impact on the world and people around them. Together they published a children’s book on sustainability, inspired by their two sons.

“We’re excited for this year’s Gala for Education and Access and the opportunity it creates for raising tomorrow’s future performers and theater lovers. We’ve found the performing arts and TheatreSquared so powerful in the impact it’s had on our family—the conversations it’s generated, the emotions we’ve experienced, and the memories we’ve created. Join us for this Gala to help every child experience the beauty, magic, and power of the performing arts.”
