The Rotary Club of Pincher Creek is looking to raise $25,000.00 before the end of August to put towards a community enhancement grant of an additional $75,000.00. This $100,000.00 will be used to determine a location, costs associated with and feasibility of a Performing Arts Theatre. Conceptual drawings of the building and facility will also be included.
As of today, we have raised $6,500.00 and we are confident we can raise the rest from the support of the community.
This initial investment into our community will allow us to move forward in making this a reality. At this point tax receipts for this donation cannot be guaranteed, but we are working with the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta to see if that can happen.*
At this point, we are not looking for a fund raising project, but a donation. $500.00 to $1,000.00 (or more of course) and we will make the grant application.
If we do not raise the $25,000.00 in time to apply for the grant, or if the grant is denied, we will refund all the money donated.
We have been in contact with an architect who will provide the conceptual drawings and will continue with community input from all user groups to determine the best location and size of facility.
If you are able to support this project at this early stage, please contact Scott Korbett at 403-632-9141 or by email at scott.korbett@gmail.com.
We are confident that Pincher Creek will have a performing arts centre to be utilized for generations. Determining what it will look like and where it will be is what we’re working on right now.
Thank you for your support.
Scott Korbett
President
