Special Invitation From UMC

As the Presenting Sponsor of the Garden State Arts Foundation’s Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 concert series, our friends at UMC Foundation are delighted to extend a special invitation to GSAF membership. In addition to enjoying world-class musical performances, you now have the chance to experience another unique cultural event — TEDxCapeMay —  a day of diverse voices, big ideas, and thought-provoking discussions.

On Sunday, October 5th, Cape May Convention Hall will host TEDxCapeMay 2025: Being Human, part of the global TEDx movement bringing “ideas worth spreading” to local communities.

Among featured speakers is Mark Lenhard, President & CEO of United Methodist Communities. In his talk, “Re-envisioning Aging Successfully,” Mark will challenge stereotypes and share an inspiring vision of purpose, vitality, and joy at every stage of life.

As a valued member of the GSAF community, you are invited to claim complimentary tickets (a $60 value), provided by the UMC Foundation. Each ticket includes admission to the full program of eight TED talks and a post-event reception at the iconic Congress Hall Hotel.

Seats are limited and registration is first come, first served, so please only reserve if you plan to attend. The UMC Foundation would love to see you in Cape May for this unique day of ideas and inspiration!
