ANNUAL FUND DRIVE

Dear Friends of the Pennyroyal Arts Council,

When I was young my father would share stories of his time at the Alhambra Theatre. His memories were rooted in being able to sit within the auditorium and watch westerns. His nostalgic excitement and exuberance resonated with me, deeply. So many years later through school field trips and nights out with the family I would come to appreciate my own memories of the historic Alhambra Theatre. Just this last summer, I had the privilege of seeing my daughter dance in the isles to one of her favorite Disney movies, and it was in that moment I understood, I understood the power, the importance and legacy a community theater can create.

Today, we are kicking off our Annual Fund Drive. Each year, the Pennyroyal Arts Council is able to attract 40,000 patrons in Christian County and the surrounding area to the Alhambra Theatre through quality programming such as classic films, dance, school musical productions and storytelling programs.

The power of creativity is made possible by the contribution of individuals like you and corporate sponsors who believe in our mission to promote the appreciation of the arts in our community. We have set a goal of $75,000 to help cover the annual expenses of maintaining the historic Alhambra Theatre.

I invite you to commit to support this mission. No matter the size of your donation. Whether it be $25, $100, or $2500; your contribution makes our annual programming and the continued restoration of the historic Alhambra Theatre possible.

The Annual Fund Drive is an essential component of our budget each year and makes it possible for the Pennyroyal Arts Council to reach audiences and develop programs that revenue from tickets, concessions, and other sources cannot fully fund.

Your generosity ensures that our inspiring independent venue will always have a home in Hopkinsville for generations to come. The board and staff would like to thank you in advance for your support.
