Hugh’s Room Live Still Needs your Help!

To date, close to 500 people have contributed a total of $143,871. That takes us more than halfway to our goal. We see this support as a strong and gratifying signal that we are in sync with the community. We all want to see this unique listening room remain vibrant and alive in our city. This first stage of fundraising has enabled the doors to re-open, beginning with Connie Kaldor’s sold-out concert on April 22.

To help us get through what will be a particularly difficult second half of our fundraising efforts, we have engaged the help of a phone canvass team to reach out to our closest supporters over the past few years. You may be contacted in the coming weeks as part of our outreach to make sure Hugh’s Room Live can thrive over the long term. Your help is vital – and very much appreciated! Thank you in advance for your support!

The simplest way to donate is via our GoFundMe site: www.gofundme.com/hughsroom.
