We’ve been pecking away at a lot of important and necessary things to get Georgetown Tidal Tales started, and to keep it successful throughout this year and beyond! In the process, we’ve incurred considerable expenses.
Georgetown Tidal Tales donates all proceeds from its three evening performances (after covering the costs of show promotion and venue rental) to a local, qualified 501(c)(3). Still, we incur significant costs for marketing and promotional materials, insurance, signage, stage/set pieces, copying, and other administrative charges. All Tidal Tales Board Members are volunteers and the program is run out of the corner desk in the guest room of the founder!
All donations will be acknowledged via USPS with a letter from Georgetown Tidal Tales. Thank you in advance for your support!
We thank you for your donation of any amount!
