TIPS FOR FUNDRAISING
Your story has impact! Share why CitySpace and Old Town Hall important to you? Why are you participating in Spring Into Action and raising funds to restore Old Town Hall as an affordable place for the arts? Is it the history of the building, the long-tern affordability for the arts or the economic impact. Perhaps all three!
Choose a goal and tell folks why you chose that goal. Relate your goal and back to the CitySpace and Old Town Hall. Ask for a specific amount such as $10, $25, or $50. Be kind and thank folks for supporting something that’s important to you. Examples of how to ask
“As I Spring Into Action, I’ll be running 50 miles for CitySpace.” “Would you consider donating $5, $10, or $15 per mile to help me hit my goal?” “My goal is to raise $500 to help create a venue that offers longterm affordability for the arts and smart economic solutions for our region.” “Your gift of $25 will help me walk another mile or two and preserve the beautiful historic Old Town Hall.”

Spring Into Action is open to all whether you are near or far or if you are a marathoner or a meanderer. CitySpace invites people of all walks of life to participate, get creative, and get motivated as the spring returns.

Citypace is nearing the completion of the restoration of Old Town Hall into an arts hub for the community of Western Massachusetts. As we begin to step out and enjoy cultural events and community gatherings following several years of isolation because of the pandemic, and most recently the long winter, we invite you to get motivated! Spring Into Action is a way for us to enjoy the season, get moving, and gather together how you like while supporting the causes that you love: arts, culture, community, economic opportunities, and historic preservation.
See the PledgeReg Spring Into Action page to find out who are the top fundraising individuals and teams! Invite your friends and family to take part and get involved to restore Old Town Hall.
