GIVE US A LIFT Capitol Campaign Fundraiser

A Port Stanley Festival Theatre Elevator Modernization Project
03 Dec - 31 Mar, 2025

DESCRIPTION

Raising funds to modernize the PSFT elevator.
What is a capital campaign?
A capital campaign is an intensive fundraising effort in a defined time-frame for a specific project.

In our case, the GIVE US A LIFT Capital Campaign will raise funds for substantial facility improvement and accessibility to the theatre and other spaces within the building. Contributions toward this campaign will support the cost of the modernization of the elevator which will allow patrons to access the Grace Auditorium Theatre, washrooms, Dorothy Faye Palmer Room and Pat and Ali Shakir Patio which are all located on the third floor of the building. It will also allow access for people to visit the businesses located on the second floor of the building as well.

"As Board Chair of Port Stanley Festival Theatre, I am excited to announce the launch of our "GIVE US A LIFT" capital campaign. This campaign will help fund the modernization of our elevator, ensure greater accessibility for all patrons and improve the overall theatre experience. With your support, we can enhance the comfort and safety of our patrons, which will allow everyone to enjoy the arts without barriers. The modernization of this vital piece of infrastructure is essential to the future of our theatre. Together, we can elevate our community’s cultural heart. Thank you for your generosity and support in making this vision a reality!" PSFT Board Chair, Wendy Cowie

GOAL: $150,000

• Community groups have been and continue to be welcome to use our
facilities for various functions, many of these groups have an aging population that require easy access to various parts of the building.

• The PSFT building tenants provide services to the community, and they too require easy accessibility options for their patrons as well.
