Friends of McCain
Your investment makes a difference
The McCain Performance Series is funded entirely by revenue generated from ticket income, grants and contributions. In fact, ticket sales typically fund less than 50% of the cost of presenting shows.
You can make a difference in the cultural future of Manhattan and Kansas State University by becoming a member of the Friends of McCain.
