Matching grant donations and volunteers needed for the Fox Theatre!
WALSENBURG — Our historic building needs help! We need to make a few repairs. We need a new roof. We need brickwork. We need proper drainage around the foundation. We need to secure the marquee to the building.
Our trusty volunteers are wore out! They save the day on a regular basis. It’s time to give them a break and make much needed repairs. We’ve experienced water lines exploding on Christmas, basement floods during community flood meetings, roof leaks, and cold movie screenings. Our time to fix these occurences is now!
The Fox Theatre was awarded a $200,000 grant from DOLA. We have to match those funds with another $200,000. We were awarded $50,000 from the State Historic Fund and $10,000 from the Robert Hoag Rawlings Foundation. We’ve requested another $100,000 from two other foundations.
We need cash to unlock the DOLA grant. We received $25,000 from resident and philanthropist George Birrer to purchase the empty lot next to the theatre, but if needed, he has permitted us to move the funds into this project. Our goal is $30,000 cash. We have to raise these funds by July 2021, or we will lose the DOLA grant. Any monetary donations help!
Our board members are committed and work well together. However, they have all extended their time on the board. Therefore, we are looking for fresh recruits. Board service is minimal; however, we are trying to raise a lot of money, so folks who are connected and enjoy fundraising would be a perfect fit!
Please contact Mike at 719-890-4292 or email him at mike@foxtheatrewalsenburg.org to learn more about volunteer opportunities.
