NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR 2019 WITH POPCORNERS®
March 18, 2019 (BETHEL, NY) – Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is pleased to welcomePopCorners as a new partner for the 2019 Pavilion Season. Sponsorship plays an integral role in ensuring the sustainability of the non-profit organization and its ability to continue to present and expand high-level programming in a pristine setting.
Bethel Woods and PopCorners are distinctly connected by their Sullivan County roots. BFY Brands, the parent company of PopCorners and Ideal Snacks, was founded in Liberty, NY in 1998. Today, PopCorners is the fastest-growing snack brand in the US and is produced with patented technology at its Middletown, NY facility. Bethel Woods began with the entrepreneurial spirit and vision of its founder and Chairman, Alan Gerry. Located at the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival, Bethel Woods broke ground in 2004. In 2012, Bethel Woods transitioned from a project of the Gerry Foundation to its own 501c3 public charity and has since established itself as a world-class performing arts and cultural center, educating individuals about the issues and lessons of the 1960s while inspiring and empowering a new generation to contribute positively to the world around them.
PopCorners brings a healthier option to the emerging better-for-you snack category. Their mantra Do One Better™ inspires fans to view every day as an opportunity to take one step forward in positively impacting others. “Do One Better is about embracing opportunities to invest in ourselves and the world around us and our collective potential to make an impact. The work that Bethel Woods is doing to inspire, educate, and bring people together makes us proud to be a partner,” said Paul Nardone, Chief Executive Officer at BFY Brands. “Bethel Woods is an incredible asset to the community and we’re looking forward to being a part of the 2019 event season.”
“We are grateful to business leaders such as Mr. Nardone who recognize the importance of the arts throughout our region and the profound impact their support has on our ability to present exceptional and diverse programming to all our audiences,” said Darlene Fedun, Chief Executive Officer for Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. “We feel honored and privileged to have them as partners and look forward to showcasing their brand throughout the year,” Fedun added.
Popcorners will have a presence at select Pavilion concerts this summer plus the Craft: Beer, Spirits and Food Festival on October 12th as part of Bethel Woods’ Season of Song and Celebration, which promises a uniquely memorable experience for those who journey to the historic site to celebrate the legacy of the greatest festival of all time. The calendar of year-long programming begins on March 30thwith the re-opening of The Museum at Bethel Woods featuring the 2019 Special Exhibit We Are Golden: Reflections on the 50th Anniversary of The Woodstock Festival & Aspirations for a Peaceful Future.
During this commemorative year, Bethel Woods is offering expanded programming, new cultural opportunities, and education initiatives that will bring tens of thousands of visitors to the beautiful 800-acre campus, which in addition to the 15,000-capacity Pavilion Stage includes an intimate 440-seat indoor Event Gallery, the award-winning Museum at Bethel Woods, and a Conservatory for arts education programming
