<div>Our Goal: Raise the Final $100,000 for the Avalon Regal Theater Open House with the Chicago Architecture Center
</div>

</div><img alt="" media_type="null" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/106590633_178560498138580_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than a decade, we have been dedicated to preserving and restoring the historic Avalon Regal Theater—one of Chicago’s most significant architectural and cultural landmarks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through years of determination and investment, we have protected this irreplaceable building and are now preparing to again welcome the public inside for a historic Open House.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The total budget for this event and the work required to prepare the building is $250,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ART Foundation has already invested $150,000 toward this effort and we are asking our community to help us raise the final $100,000 needed to make this milestone possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve Already Made Significant Progress
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When we acquired the theater, years of deferred maintenance had taken a serious toll on the building.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rather than waiting for someone else to save it, we took action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We successfully completed the stabilization of the southern facade, preserving a major portion of this Chicago landmark after years of neglect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, we are actively working to stabilize the northern facade, another critical investment that will protect the building for generations to come and help prepare it to safely welcome visitors during Open House.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign will help us complete that work while preparing the theater for one of the most important public events in its recent history.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where Your Donation Goes

</div>
<div>* Safety improvements
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Winterization to protect the building through the coming winter
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every Gift Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re inviting thousands of people to become part of this story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No donation is too small. When thousands of people give what they can, extraordinary things happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Avalon Regal Theater is more than a building. It is a symbol of Chicago’s cultural history and a cornerstone for the future of the South Side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Open House with the Chicago Architecture Center will allow the public, preservation organizations, civic leaders, philanthropists, and future investors to see firsthand how far this project has come—and how close we are to bringing this landmark back to life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation helps us cross the finish line.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to contribute today, please share this campaign with your family, friends, and colleagues. Every share helps us reach another supporter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can raise the final $100,000, complete our $250,000 Open House budget, and continue restoring one of Chicago’s greatest historic treasures.
