Save The Firehouse!
The Firehouse has fallen and the music has gone silent,
but you can help bring it back.
In early April, we launched an ambitious campaign to reach 50,000 people in one week, asking for $10 each in order to raise $500,000! OK, we aim high! While we reached a lot of people, we had around 80 donors give around $9000--for which we are VERY thankful!
But we are not done. So it is likely we'll try again. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, BUY A JASON ANDERSON ALBUM FOR $10.
ALL OF THE PROCEEDS GO TO THE FIREHOUSE!

Hello Friends of the Firehouse! If you've made it here it means you've been caught up in our 7 Days to Save The Firehouse fundraiser. We're contacting as many people as possible who are able to donate even just $10 to the rebuilding of The Firehouse. The North Manchester community is behind us and has provided the money to build a new roof and floor (go to www.youtube.com/SaveTheFirehouse to see some videos of the progress!), but it's going to take more to get the whole Firehouse back. We're at a point where literally every penny you can donate will help us bring back the venue that we all know and love. Please make a donation at the PayPal link or send a check to the address below. Once you've donated, please take a couple minutes to contact 10 more people and let them know why you're donating and why they should too. If we all cast our nets far enough, we'll have the Firehouse back before we know it! Thank you so much for keeping the flame alive in North Manchester. |

10.13.07 On July 25, 2007, the Firehouse roof collapsed during heavy rains. An ad hoc committee has been investigating the possibilities of renovating the Firehouse so that the concerts our youth have enjoyed for the past six years can continue. Because the roof must be replaced, and the building brought up to code, funds are desperately needed. Trick-or-Treat Fundraiser Manchester High School students: Trick-or-Treat for the Firehouse! Form a group with 4 or 5 of your friends and sing on people's lawns until they give you money for the Firehouse. Talk to Mr. Burnworth or Mrs. Klingler for more information. Under Construction The North Manchester Town Council voted to accept our recommendation to tear down the middle and back sections of the Firehouse so that some new construction can happen in the same location. The plan is to keep the front part, bring it "up to code" so it will be safe, and add to it under a new roof.
