What is “144 Envelopes?” The Rialto Theatre Advisory Committee launched this unique fund raiser at the May 23, Alumni weekend event “ Hidden Stories in the Images of Southwestern Bradford County”, based on a new book published by Leroy Heritage Museum and presented by Matt Carl.
Bradford County Regional Arts Council and Rialto Theatre Advisory Committee members, Mary Beth Schoonover and Linda Nickerson provided the information about this unique fundraiser. The idea is to receive donations corresponding to a dollar amount on an envelope, from $1 to $144. This stands to be a significant fundraiser in which no one person or entity is asked to contribute a major amount. The fund raiser will continue until all envelopes have been filled.
The 144 envelope board is on display at the Rialto Theatre and you can pick out an envelope when you go to the movies or visit the Theatre.
Money collected from the fund raiser will be used to help maintain the Historic Rialto Theatre, a
community based movie theatre that is owned and operated by the Bradford County Regional Arts Council. The Bradford County Regional Arts Council is a private, not-for-profit corporation.
