Celebrating the Tidemark’s 25th Anniversary! Donate today!

The Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign offers a unique opportunity for you to support an important social, cultural and economic initiative in Campbell River and the North Island.  Over the past year, the Tidemark Theatre Society has applied for $600,000 in grant funding for capital upgrades to the theatre. 

These upgrades will comprise Phase II of the planned capital upgrades for the theatre.  Phase I of the upgrade saw the purchase and installation of a cutting edge sound system in 2009.   Phase I was funded by Coast Sustainability Trust, Rotary Club of Campbell River, Maclean Foundation, the City of Campbell River, and the fundraising efforts of the Tidemark Theatre Society.  Among the planned upgrades are:

• replacement of our seats (installed originally in 1947 in the Van Isle movie theatre, which became the Tidemark in 1987)
• state-of-the-art computerized stage lighting
• an online ticketing system that will be available to local community groups and non-profits
• in house projection system and monitors

Although it is anticipated that the Tidemark Theatre Society will secure over $600,000 in funding from public agencies to proceed with Phase II of the Tidemark Theatre Revitalization Project, it cannot proceed until it demonstrates community support by fundraising over $50,000 in donations from individuals, community groups and local businesses.  The $600,000 in grant funding is contingent on demonstrating community support via a capital campaign, and so we have embarked on an ambitious plan to fundraise $50K between now and March 31, 2012.   The overall goal of the Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign is to raise a total of $250,000 before December 31, 2012.  As part of our fundraising efforts, the Tidemark Theatre Society is also committed to naming the seats for a value of $500 each as stated in the funding applications. 

Your contribution will help fund the modernization of our community performing arts theatre.  If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please feel free to contact us at tidemark25@tidemarktheatre.com.  Your generous contribution to this campaign will make a difference now and in the future.
