Donor Spotlight
It’s estimated that renowned author James Patterson has sold around 2.3 million copies per title of his 147 novels. Globally, Patterson is known for numbers—he holds the record for most books on the New York Times best-sellers list at a whopping 116, and once published 14 novels in a single year. Yet step onto Dreyfoos’ campus, and suddenly, the set of numbers that define Patterson everywhere else in the world pale in comparison to a new set: 11 million dollars in awarded scholarships, over 300 students aided in the college application process, and 8 consecutive years of funding the annual Prism concert. Alongside his wife, Sue Patterson, dedicated philanthropist and longtime School of the Arts Foundation board member, Mr. Patterson has directly influenced the futures of almost a decade of Dreyfoos graduates.
