The Wally Russell Foundation was set up and funded in 1993 by friends and business associates of Wally to honor his numerous contributions to the evolution of lighting technology, as well as his innate ability to identify and nurture young, talented artisans and visionaries.
To honor Wally, the Foundation uses funds not only to honor industry innovators with The Annual Lifetime Achievement Award, but also to support and fund internships for the Los Angeles Opera, Broadway Master Classes, and the re-instatement of the annual Newcomer Award.
The generous donation is tax deductible and can be contributed at these levels:
Wally Patron: $2,500 and above
Platinum Circle: $1,000 to $2,499

Those who donate receive:

Recognition of the company/individual contribution within a year-end full page thank you ad in Live Design
Recognition of your company/yourself as a supporter of the fund
Platinum and above supporters are invited to attend the annual Wally Luncheon honoring the year's Lifetime Achievement Winner at ETS-LDI
