Preston fundraiser nets $17,000
KINGMAN – The Kingman Center for the Arts (KCA), owner of the historic Beale Street Theater, is thrilled and honored to announce that it is on target to meet Angle Homes $100,000 Matching Grant Challenge by the end of 2019, thanks in great part to a fundraiser on Nov 2 hosted by Scott and Emilie Preston, which raised over $17,000.
“The KCA would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Preston family for providing their beautiful home as a venue for the event, as well as donating the delicious food prepared by Garibaldi’s. We would like to thank the amazing, local artists who donated pieces for auction at the event: Sarah Peterson, Doris Lightwine, John VanVliet, Justin Poole, Anna Ryan, Mike Lawrence, and Andrew Florea; and Diamond Brothers Jewelry for donating a beautiful piece from its new Effy line, a 14KW Diamond and Amethyst Ring. Thank you to Diana’s Cellar Door Wine Bar and Black Bridge Brewery for sponsoring the cocktails for the event, and Larrea Blossoms for donating flowers. KCA is also grateful to Bronwyn and Ryan Swigert for playing beautiful cello and violin pieces during the event. Thank you to all the community members who attended this event and generously donated to help the Beale Street Theater Renovation Project” said KCA spokesperson Skyler Holmes.
Due to community donations and volunteerism, Kingman Center for the Arts has now reached $95,000 funds raised in 2019 toward its Beale Street Theater Renovation Project. Angle Homes has been instrumental in sparking community interest in this vital downtown project as a result of its promise to double all funds raised in 2019 up to $100,000, and KCA is only $5,000 away from reaching this goal.
