Honorees

GINNY GOLD

Ginny Gold brings a deep passion for our mission and an infectious enthusiasm for our programs. She and her beloved late husband, Marty, were among our founding supporters, united by a vision for the Burns to become both a cherished cultural institution and one of the nation’s leading nonprofit film and education centers. Ginny’s philanthropic foresight—paired with her steadfast commitment to enriching shared experiences and fostering deeper connection—played a vital role in bringing our Take 3 Wine Bar and Café to life in April 2024.
