Earlier this year, Gem ran a successful seat sponsorship campaign for the 120 seats on the main floor known as the Bagdad seats. There were individuals and families that wanted to participate after we had run out of seats to sponsor.
We have decided to open sponsorship to the sixty seats in the balcony known as the Cosy seats. Like the seats on the main floor, sponsorship at $75 per seat will include a plaque with your name attached to the back of the seat.
Proceeds will be used to further offset the expenses associated with installation of the facility seats.
You can donate directly via PayPal using the donate button, and indicate in the comments it’s for the Cosy Seat Sponsorship and whose name you’d like attached. If you have questions, contact Rob at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
the amazing response to the seat campaign has all seats sold! THANK YOU! We still have pavers available, and you can still donate via the Gofundme link, but no more seats.
The Gem is preparing to install historic seats in the theatre this fall. We are looking for sponsors for the 120 seats on the main floor, at $75 per seat. We will install a plaque on the back of the seat with your name or a name of your choosing. The donation can be made through the existing GoFundMe campaign, if the donation is made this way please go to "NOTE OF SUPPORT" and tell us there what you want your seat plaque to read or if sponsoring more than one how the plaques should read.
The results of the recent drive to match an anonymous $50K pledge are as follows: The Valley Giving Guide portion of the drive garnered $115,867 including the $50K pledge. Additional funds raised through the Gem website, including the Hodaka coin drive bring the grand total of every donation to just under $136K.
Hodaka silver coin update.
As of today, the Regency Mint custom production line is still shut down by a Covid outbreak. The office has reopened, they expect to start running product on a limited basis at the beginning of next week. They have given us an order shipping date of February 9.
If that holds, we will begin shipping them out to individuals the week following. Thank you for your patience!
