Donate to the Festival Hall Seat Campaign
Help us renovate Festival Hall Centre for the Performing Arts! The Festival Hall Seat Campaign is raising money to renovate the interior of the theatre, focused on the replacement of the seats.
The Festival Hall Seat Campaign will allow individuals, businesses, or organizations to sponsor a seat within the theatre for $150. This sponsorship is eligible for a charitable tax receipt and can be made online or at the municipal offices of the City of Pembroke, Town of Petawawa, or Township of Laurentian Valley. All funds raised through the campaign will go towards renovations at Festival Hall.
Full sponsorship packages with further options are available for interested individuals, businesses, and organizations by contacting the City of Pembroke at [email protected].
