Celebrate Centerstage 2021 Virtual Fundraiser Slated May 9-15
Centerstage Theatre will kick off its annual fundraiser, Celebrate Centerstage 2021, at 2 pm, May 9 before a semi-staged reading of a new adaptation of Within the Law at the Knutzen Family Theatre in Federal Way. Due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions, this year’s event will be virtual.
Some details of Celebrate Centerstage 2021 are still pending, but the event will include a silent auction that will begin at 4 pm on May 9 and close at 10 pm on May 15. A closing livestreamed event for Celebrate Centerstage 2021 begins at 4 pm on May 15 and will include a live auction and Raise the Paddle. Celebrate Centerstage 2021 is the largest fundraiser for the professional theatre company. Proceeds from the event benefit artist stipends, education programming and general operations.
“This past year has been devastating to our theatre. Fifty percent of our revenue comes from ticket sales and COVID-19 restrictions forced us to suspend production in March 2020,” said Angela Bayler, managing director for Centerstage Theatre. “Celebrate Centerstage is our largest single fundraiser of the year. Proceeds from this will help sustain our company until we can get back to normal programming.”
Items in the silent auction include Porsche Club driver skills session, a Nintendo Switch, restaurant certificates, various wine packages and much more.
Visit celebratecenterstage2021.maxgiving.bid to register for the auction and for more information.
For more information, please contact Julie Kissick Malloy, Centerstage’s development manager, at 253-298-9170 or julie@centerstagetheatre.com.
Part scavenger hunt and part double-dog-dare, Beyond the Backyard is a family-friendly fundraiser designed to provide deep belly laughs while supporting affordable housing in our community.
Fun-seekers of all ages and competitors of all abilities race through a variety of challenges centered in Pierce County, responding to clues delivered thru the race app and working to solve, find and/or do the things asked of them in whatever order they choose. As teams race, proof of completion (photo/video) is uploaded to race HQ and validated in real time. The first team to finish wins!
Proceeds benefit Tacoma/Pierce County Habitat for Humanity’s affordable homeownership and foreclosure prevention programs.
Registration is $25 per person, which counts toward your team’s $300 fundraising goal. (Each team needs 3-8 people.) Kids of all ages are welcome to participate! Beyond the Backyard is perfect for families and/or groups of friends, and offers team-building opportunities for colleagues, sports
teams, and youth groups.
