Save 6th Street Hall: Repair Our Roof

Preserving the Legacy of 6th Street Hall: A Call for Support

For over a century, Knights of St. Casimir’s has stood as a cornerstone of community, culture, and celebration. Nestled in the heart of our city, this hall has been more than just a building—it has been a gathering place where generations of families have come together to share meals, dance to the lively rhythms of polka, and celebrate the beauty of Polish traditions.

But today, this beloved hall faces a serious challenge: its roof is in desperate need of repair. Years of wear and tear have taken their toll, and without intervention, this vibrant piece of history risks falling silent. To preserve this cultural treasure, the Knights of St. Casimir’s have launched a campaign to raise $85,000 to fund critical roof repairs.

Why It Matters

The Knights of St. Casimir’s, aka 6th Street Hall, are not just about heritage; they are about community. From our famous Sunday Breakfasts, Dances, Comedy Shows, Burger Nights, Bingo, Shuffleboard, and Pool Leagues, the hall is a hub where people of all ages and backgrounds connect, laugh, and celebrate. It’s a place where stories are shared over pierogis and mugs of beer, where young children learn the joy of cultural dance, and where milestones like weddings, anniversaries, retirement parties, memorials, and fundraisers are etched into the memories of those who walk through its doors.

However, the hall’s leaking roof now threatens to disrupt all of this. Rainwater has begun to seep in, jeopardizing the structure and creating an urgent need for repairs. Without action, this treasured space may no longer be able to host the events that bring our community together.

The Cost of Preservation

The estimated cost of repairing the whole roof is $85,000. This is not just an investment in bricks and mortar; it’s an investment in keeping a cultural and community landmark alive for future generations. As a not-for-profit organization, the Knights of St. Casimir’s rely on the generosity of the community to make this possible. Every dollar raised will go directly toward ensuring the hall remains a safe, vibrant space where traditions continue to thrive.

How You Can Help

We believe in the power of community, and together, we can make this happen. Your support will not only help us repair the roof but also allow us to continue hosting events like our famous Pulaski Day celebrations, Sunday Breakfasts, and community events that strengthen the bonds of friendship and culture.

A Legacy Worth Preserving

This is more than a building; it’s a symbol of resilience, unity, and pride in our shared heritage. The Knights of St. Casimir’s have been stewards of this legacy for generations, and with your help, we can ensure the hall remains a beacon of community for decades to come.

Please join us in preserving this cherished landmark. Together, we can raise the $85,000 needed to repair the roof and keep the spirit of 6th Street Hall alive. Thank you for your support in keeping the heart of our community beating strong.

If you are blessed to be in a situation where you can help, we would greatly appreciate it. If not us this time, please consider helping another hall in the future. Together, we can keep our Polish heritage and landmarks alive for the generations to come.
