<div>For 89 years, the Marion Theater has been a place where our community comes together — for movies, memories, first dates, school trips, family nights, and the kind of small-town magic you just can’t find anywhere else.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, this historic building needs our help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We must raise $50,000 to replace the aging roof and protect the theater for generations to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After decades of weather, repairs, and quick fixes, the roof has reached a point where it must be fully replaced. Every leak puts our projectors, seats, screens, and historic interior at risk. More importantly, it puts the mission of keeping this 83-year-old treasure alive at risk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Marion Theater isn’t just a place to watch movies — it’s a symbol of community pride, a local landmark, and a gathering place that brings people together week after week. Since new ownership began revitalizing the theater, we’ve seen:
</div>
<div>Free kids’ summer movies
</div>
<div>Weekly classic film screenings
</div>
<div>Sold-out community events
</div>
<div>A renewed sense of life in downtown Columbia
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But to continue this momentum and protect everything inside, we must secure the most important part of the building: the roof.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Your Donation Helps</strong>
</div>
<div>Every dollar goes directly toward:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Removing the failing roof
</li>
<li>Installing a modern, weather-proof replacement
</li>
<li>Ensuring the building is safe, dry, and preserved for future generations
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a major project for a small business — one we can only accomplish with the support of the community that keeps us going.
</div>

<div>Be Part of Saving a Piece of Columbia’s History
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you can give $5 or $500, your support makes a real difference. Every donation brings us one step closer to securing the future of an 83-year-old landmark and continuing to provide affordable entertainment for our town.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If the Marion Theater has ever meant something to you — a childhood memory, a first date, a family night out — we ask you to help us protect it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping keep the Marion Theater shining bright for the next 89 years.
</div>
