The Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship has launched its Fall 2021 Fundraising Appeal, including a special incentive for new members to join. The appeal is being held in conjunction with the Fall Symposium and includes an array of thank-you gifts related to Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.
All donations to the SOF during the appeal period, retroactive to August 19 (when Symposium registration opened), and continuing through October 15, count automatically toward eligibility for gifts.
For full information and the link to donate, please click here. And don’t forget to register for the free public Symposium! The highest-level gift (three available) is a modern oil painting based on a classic 1575 portrait of Oxford (see image).
“We wholeheartedly thank all our members, new and old, and are always appreciative of our donors,” says SOF President John Hamill. “Everyone’s generosity allows us to keep the organization’s events, research, and outreach programs going. We are especially grateful at this time to SOF Trustees Ben August and Bonner Miller Cutting, who are personally donating several of our wonderful thank-you gifts.”
