Endowment Fund
Doug and Peg Schmalz have generously established the endowment fund with a donation of $50,000. The Schmalz also have made $25,000 available as matching funds for any money raised by Theatre 7. When Theatre 7 raises at least $25,000 and has it matched by that $25,000, the endowment fund will total $100,000. In most cases, each gift qualifies for maximum tax advantage under federal law.
This endowment fund will help Theatre 7 renovate and maintain it headquarters building and provide the organization with a more secure future.
If you would like to contribute to the Theatre 7 Endowment Fund, send your

Many, many thanks to everyone who so far, has donated to the framed cast photos that Jody Byers and Janet Patterson have been working on since last season. Jody has been collecting and framing and Janet was displaying a few at each of the recent productions. To up-date everyone...a total of 41 photos out of over 150 productions have been framed.
So you see, there are many ways to do a production cast photo for our Wall of Fame which is currently on the third floor of our headquarters. You can specifically request a production or just send in your sponsorship. You can send in in memory of someone. The price is $25.00 per framing, a very reasonable price for the gorgeous silver matting and frame.
If you are interested in doing a sponsorship, mail in your $25.00 per framed photo to: Theatre 7, Photo Sponsorship, PO Box 972, Decatur, IL. 62525-0972. Any questions and/or comments call Jody Byers @ 428-8886 or Janet Patterson @ 872-0421. Thank you all for your generous support!!
