“May the 4th Be With You”: A Star Wars themed fundraiser
Thank you all for supporting Rose of Athens Theatre. While we were unable to share the day together, we hope you will join us at our other events for the remainder of the season and consider donating to our theatre education programs. Since we were unable to raise funds today at our fundraiser, an RoA Board Member has graciously offered a matching donation of up to $500.00. If you would like to donate, you may click the donate button in the sidebar. Keep posted for next season’s ‘May the Fourth Be With You’ event on May 4, 2014.
Rose of Athens Theatre is having a ball and we want you to join in the fun! “May The Fourth Be With You” is a Star Wars themed fundraiser set to benefit both educational/school programs of 501c3 nonprofit Rose of Athens Theatre, Inc. Not only will party-goers be treated with delicious food by Zaxby’s, but there will be live entertainment from local kid rock bands and professional bands, jugglers, fire throwers and a fun-for-all lightsaber creation station! Don’t forget to dress to the nines in your best Star Wars garb. Who are you? A Solo or Sith Lord? You never know who will show up!
