Posted project update #11Final Push To Prepare For The Finance Committee Meeting
Post CommentWe are currently 86% funded on our KickStarter project. Tomorrow we have a big meeting with the Finance Committee. I would love nothing more than to go to the meeting at 6 PM and inform them the goal has been met in two weeks time!
Remember the Bistro is willing to throw in $20 extra if you donate $100 or more.
PLUS you can always go in and edit your donation if you happen to find a couple bucks in your laundry. Every dollar helps!
If you have friends that were on the fence about donating, now is the time. We can do this!!!!

Posted project update #7Can We Raise $525 by 9? Gracie Will Dance for Donations
Post CommentLet's try to raise $20,000 by the time Downtown Abby starts tonight.
If we make it...we will release a video of Gracie dancing, a special outtake from the filming of the KickStarter video. You won't want to miss this. We are pretty sure this is going to be the next YouTube sensation. Tell your friends, $525 by 9 PM. If we reach that goal, Gracie's video will make its debut sooner after.

Posted project update #5January 19...The Day The Donations Kept Rolling In
Today we raised $5,840. A 26 % leap in one day. We are at 60% of our goal in 10 days time. We still have 66% of our time remaining.
Just to list a few statistics in case you were wondering. Summer Theatre in more than within reach but we have to keep spreading the word. These numbers are meaningless until we reach our goal. But be encouraged, we are well on our way!
To put it into perspective, if we raise $500 a day from now until February 11th we will reach our goal. That we can do! We can do this!

Posted project update #4A 11% Leap in One Day
Post CommentThank you. Thank you. Thank you. An email was sent today to previous patrons of The Prizery and within hours the response was tremendous. $2,425 in 6 hours! The Save Summer Theatre KickStarter saw an 11% leap in ONE DAY earning us a slot on the "Popular" page under the Theatre category. Thank you for your giving and please spread the word. We do not any donations unless the ENTIRE goal is raised.
Also, the faster we earn the money the more exposure we will receive on the "Popular" page which could lead to more donations. So don't hesitate to give!
