A TRIBUTE TO A LEGEND
Some fifty years after his death, the entertainment community has acknowledged its gratitude to James Dean for his singular contributions to the industry, by coming together to create a permanent living memorial. The Fairmount Foundation has identified a stellar group of entertainment figures who agree that the restoration of the historic Fairmount High School, and the creation of the James Dean Performing Arts Center and Museum, is an eminently worthwhile goal, and have pledged to lend their names and use their influence to help make this plan a reality.

The Foundation needs to raise $6 million to make this plan a reality. No public funds are being solicited for this project, because the Foundation believes the entertainment industry can and will meet this challenge.

We invite you to stay in touch with the latest developments as the fundraising effort progresses, the restoration begins, and the ongoing program of the Center takes shape.
