<div>Help Rebuild Tascosa Drive-In After Wind Damage
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve been searching for insurance, but drive-ins are considered high-risk, making coverage hard to find and extremely expensive. One quote only covered liability—so it wouldn’t have helped with wind damage anyway. That’s why we started the GoFundMe. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For decades, Tascosa Drive-In has been a beloved gathering place where families and friends come together under the stars. But now, we’re facing a major setback.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Severe wind damage has left multiple structures at the drive-in in need of major repairs. We had only a partial season last year and have been reinvesting everything into upgrades just to keep the drive-in running. Now, before we could even fully open for the season, we’re hit with another devastating challenge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Was Damaged?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This storm caused significant structural damage to several key parts of the drive-in:
</div>
<div>✅ Two towers with a 70-foot marquee in between – One tower lost large sections of its sheet metal, while the other is still standing but needs reinforcement. The marquee, which sits between them, was also damaged.
</div>
<div>✅ The ticket booth – Located beneath the marquee, it suffered wind damage and needs repairs.
</div>
<div>✅ The movie screen (separate from the towers &amp; marquee area) – several large sections of the screen were torn off and will need to be replaced and repainted.
</div>
<div><br />
