Each holiday season, Pioneer Theatre Company is proud to partner with a local nonprofit organization for which donations from PTC patrons can be collected.
This year, inspired by the Christmas in Connecticut character Jefferson Jones—a celebrated WWII veteran—we are honored to provide a destination for its patrons to donate items to real-life American heroes by way of the VA Salt Lake City Healthcare System and the VA Center for Development and Civic Engagement.
