Bridge the Bauer Campaign Launches
The campaign is administered by Festival Antigonish on behalf of Festival Antigonish, Theatre Antigonish, and the broader arts community, with leadership support from the Festival Antigonish Foundation. All gifts to the Bridge the Bauer / Build the Future Campaign are received and managed through Festival Antigonish.
CAMPAIGN PROGRESS
At the time of this morning’s radio announcement, the campaign had already reached $275,000 in early commitments. Thanks to an additional $25,000 in gifts received this morning, the total has now grown to $300,000 — 60% of our $500,000 goal!
“The Board has been actively working with leadership on this plan for many months,” says Minoli Amit, Chair of the Festival Antigonish Summer Theatre Board. “We fully support the need to invest in the short term to protect our future and the future of the arts for everyone in Antigonish. Each year, more than 8,000 patrons — including over 1,000 students and youth — come through the Bauer; nearly 700 people access Pay-What-You-Can tickets and about 400 attend Relaxed Performances. Those are the lives and experiences we are safeguarding with this campaign.”
