Support Wealthy Theatre!

We began drafting the groundbreaking Centennial Campaign in 2007. Last summer, the Wege Foundation made a generous lead gift to kick off the campaign. We launched at Midnight 1/01/2011 with a sold-out concert featuring Michigan musicians.

This pioneering set of proposals will be a model for historic venues nationwide. It will propel Wealthy Theatre into its second century. You can help - and your employer may even match your tax-deductible contribution!

Please share this website link with your friends, and encourage them to help the historic preservation of a community landmark by ensuring Wealthy Theatre has a strong leap into its second century!



Supporter "Thank you" levels

Clicking a level name (for example, "STAGE CREW") will open a donation window. If you prefer, contact WT Director Erin Wilson directly at (616) 459-4788 x130 or via email: erin@grcmc.org. Pledges can be staggered over the year with installments. All donations qualify to be credited online (on this website) and named in the WT Time Capsule, which will be buried in our walkway and reopened in 100 years. Any donation over $12 qualifies you for an Individual Basic CMC Membership.
