MISSION STATEMENT
The Cruz Coalition’s mission is to bring people together. Together everything is possible. Promoters and venues, producers and creators, artists and patrons. We’re building it together, and doing it for the love of it. The Coalition co-creates events that entertain and energize, generate community, stimulate dialogue and just plain feel good. We can do all of it, help you do part of it, or help you figure out who or what you need to get it done right. Managing the business part of entertainment to its most harmonious and drama-free potential and putting the focus back on the fun. Come join our coalition and we’ll join yours, too.
