We’re only a few months into 2018, and it’s already been a huge year for The Avalon Theatre Foundation. Starting with the celebration of The Avalon’s 95th anniversary in January we’ve hit the ground running to fulfill our goal of a modern sound system for the main hall, to celebrate the unique cultural and community benefits of the theatre and to identify its needs as we begin to look to The Avalon’s centennial and beyond!
First of all, thank you to all of you who attended Ed Asner: A Man and His Prostate with us on February 14th. The event was a huge success with 670 in attendance, raising over $8,100 toward our goal of matching City of Grand Junction’s generous commitment of $50,000 in 2018 for a modern sound system for The Avalon.
We especially want to thank our event sponsors for their overwhelming support, including Springhill Suites Downtown, Urological Associates of Western Colorado, The Goat & Clover Tavern, KOOL 107.9, KKCO 11 News, Snob Productions and Il Bistro Italiano. Additionally, thank you to Mr. Asner, whose funny, heartfelt performance will be remembered fondly amongst the entertainment legends that have performed on The Avalon stage over the last 95 years.
Because of that success, and with funds raised in 2017, we’re over halfway to our 2018 goal. We’ve identified a sound system for purchase that will greatly enhance The Avalon’s sound quality for movies and performances, and reduce costs to large and small events alike.
We intend for this modern sound system to be purchased and installed by Summer 2018, but we need your help to do it.
The Avalon Theatre Foundation, with matching funds from City of Grand Junction, will be making a 50% down payment on the identified sound system very soon, but need to raise $15,000 in the next 30 days to make the final payment and receive delivery of the new sound system. 300 contributions of just $50 would put us over the top, allowing us to bring this benefit to The Avalon by Summer.
With your help, we can finish this project well ahead of schedule and begin to look forward to the next phase of The Avalon’s evolution.
Your generosity is a tribute to the ongoing history of this wonderful community asset and to the character of our beautiful downtown…now, LET’S GO MAKE SOME NOISE!
