In 2018, pending audited results, YOU donated AND raised a total of over $14,500 in 24 hours to ensure a strong and exciting future for Tampa’s longest-operating, non-profit community theater.
This total includes the generous $5,000 prize grant from the Gobioff Foundation, rewarding the small non-profit arts organization who could show the largest number of individual donors.
