"It is so rewarding to see what we can accomplish in just one day. Augusta Gives benefits scholarships, athletics, academics, research, health care, innovation and other vital programs at Augusta University, and we are profoundly grateful for all the support,” said Brandon McCray, vice president for development in Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement. Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)" will be performed by the Augusta University Opera Initiative, under the direction of Díana Thompson-Brewer, DMA, on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, March 23, at the Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre.
