Join the Hunt to Save the Fox!
The Art Deco Society of California has committed to raise $2,500 to help the Oakland Fox Theater pay down their bills. Now is the time we become a fundraising organization instead of cheering from the sidelines. The economy has slowed down and makes money tight for everyone, including non profits. So please dig deep with a tax-deductable donation and help us help our neighbors. Keep your eye on the Fox-O-Meter, every $100 turns a fox red as we get closer to our goal of $2,500. With this commitment the ADSC gets a lovely brass plaque at the Fox Theater site.
You may donate any amount you like using PayPal or a check, made out to:
Art Deco Society of California
mail to:
