Raise The Roof
Donation protected
Hey everyone! We are trying to raise some money to re-shingle the barn roof.
You may have seen shingles lying on the ground (or parts of them) when you attended a show. That's right, our roof is literally falling off.
So far, over the last 4 years we have raised a little over $5,000 with your generous support. THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has given so far to help us reach our goal. The barn is going to cost over $30,000 to re-shingle though, so we have more work to do!
Most people don't know that we are entirely run by volunteers. We don't make a lot of money running this business. We pay the bands and after that, we take what's left and try to make it through the winter months and schedule much needed restoration and improvement projects at the barn.
Over the course of the first 5 years that we ran this business, we basically lost money every single year. We now (with alcohol sales) break even or actually make a little money every show :) and we would like to thank every one of you for first of all, coming out and supporting this crazy thing we do out here , but also being a super cool, caring community.
The volunteers and friends and family are really what make this whole thing work and we love you all for it. We're happy to bring you some of the coolest musical happenings around! We do it because we love to do it and it's been one of the most rewarding, mind-blowing experiences of our lives.
We are willing to work hard and give everything we've got to make these magical shows keep happening! Hopefully anyone who has been to a show out here feels the same way.
That said, we REALLY NEED to shingle the barn and WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO DO IT.
Thanks for considering a donation to our cause.
Our cause being music!
We love music!
We really could not keep doing what we do out here without your generous support. Thanks in advance for considering donating to our Raise the Roof Fund!
