The REES Theater restoration effort is close to qualifying for a $300,000 grant, but time is running out. As of Monday afternoon, the project was within $150,000 of its $1.5 million fundraising goal, according to project organizers. The goal has to be reached by tonight at midnight, in order to get the $300,000 from the Regional Cities Initiative.
Project organizers say you can fill out a donor/pledge form at the REES ticket booth, Marshall County Museum, Marshall County Community Foundation, or MAX 98.3 FM studios. You can also donate online at ReesProject.com.
The overall goal is to raise a total of $3.46 million, to reopen the theater in time for its 80th anniversary in the spring of 2020.
