This year’s season is also marked by a significant milestone for the Institution’s Boundless: A Campaign for Chautauqua, originally launched to coincide with Chautauqua’s 150th anniversary. The campaign aimed to raise $150 million, but it has exceeded that goal, putting the Institution on firmer footing for future growth and preservation.
