“We think of The Apollo Theater as a jewel in the crown of African American culture and a national treasure. We are inspired by the Apollo’s exceptional programs and productions, past and present.

We consider it an honor and an obligation to preserve and sustain the legacy of this mighty institution for years to come.”

“Citi values our corporate alignment with the Apollo Theater. With a rich history spanning eight decades, the legendary Apollo is an emblem of African American distinction and artistic innovation in music, theater, comedy, and dance.

Citi is proud to support the Apollo Theater, a global titan of arts and culture and a leading NYC institution centered around Black cultural expression and excellence.”

“When I was in college, I worked part-time at the DMV around the corner from the Apollo…I remember walking by the theater and always thinking, what a shame it would be if the Apollo were to close. The Apollo represents so much culture and history, not only in the community but internationally as well. Fast forward to 2015, I was introduced to the Apollo Young Patrons, where I served as a member then later to co-chair. I am now a proud steering committee member of the EmpowHer group…Nothing brings me more pleasure than to be able to give back to such a historical place that brings so much joy and culture back to the community.”
