PG&E Corporation Foundation donates $100K to the Park Theater Renovation Campaign
Submitted by Tracey Karsten Farrell
The all-volunteer Park Theater Trust has received widespread support from individuals, local businesses, and family foundations for the Park's rebirth. With the generous donation of?$100,000 from the PG&E Corporation Foundation, the Renovation Campaign moves even closer towards its goal. ?The Foundation stated the contribution to TPTT was one of the largest they will make in the East Bay outside of Oakland this year.
This is a particularly significant grant because it recognizes just how much impact a reopened and re-envisioned Park Theater will have on the entire region. Corporate donations are critical to the success of this project, especially as government funding is scarce with no redevelopment funds available.
The board plans to start construction once they have received 80% of the renovation funds. They are almost halfway to the $12 million campaign to purchase, protect, and renovate the Park into the community cultural resource the Trust envisions.
