OVER 1,300 AVALON NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS HAVE CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $1.8 MILLION TO THE CAMPAIGN. JOIN THE AVALON LEGACY CAMPAIGN TODAY AND HELP US REACH OUR $2.0 MILLION GOAL.

Thanks to the funds raised from so many of our friends and neighbors, the Avalon Café was opened in a beautifully renovated space that serves movie-goers and others. In addition, important repairs have been made to the theater’s electrical system. This was a necessary step in the process of installing an elevator. The beautiful ceiling mural in our Avalon 1 theater has been restored and the peeling ceiling paint fixed. Finally, a portion of the mortgage debt has been reduced, thus improving the financial condition of the theater.

We hope you’ll join the Campaign today.
