The Richland Center Community and graduates of Richland Center High School continue to rise for the Richland Center Auditorium Elevator Project.

Any donation will help make an impact. For donations by check, please make checks payable to RCPAC and include elevator and class year in the memo. Checks can be mailed to RCPAC, PO BOX 188, Richland Center, WI 53581 or donations can be made online at rcpac.org. Please indicate on your online donations which class you graduated with.

The Richland Center Performing Arts Council and the Auditorium Renovation Project want to thank the classes from Richland Center High School and the many generous donors who are helping to add an elevator to the Richland Center Auditorium.

Looking for a way to help the community? WE NEED YOU!

Here is a conceptual drawing of the proposed elevator project for the Richland Center Performing Arts Center (RCPAC). The auditorium is a historic landmark in Richland Center. The stage has been a platform of entertainment and education for thousands of dancers, actors, actresses, musicians, RC graduates, politicians, comedians, and so many more. RCPAC is so close to realizing the dream of having an elevator. The elevator would make the building ADA compliant and all guests to have access to each of the three floors. The cost of the project is $1.2m. RCPAC has received a federal grant along with a generous grant from the Woodman Foundation. We still need approximately $180,000 to secure the final funds for the project. The remaining money is needed by June 1, 2021. If we don't secure the additional funds, the federal grant of $752,341 will be lost. Raising $180,000 is much more attainable than $1.2m, and we can do this with everyone's help!

Please show your support by making a donation. ANY donation, large or small, will make an impact, Let's keep RC alive and thriving. Donations can be mailed to: RCPAC, PO Box 188, Richland Center, WI 53581. Online donations can be made by the GoFundMe link found on our website at www.RCPAC.org or clicking on the following link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/elevator-rise-to-the-top?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer. If you are joining the RCHS graduating class challenge, please include the year you graduated in the memo.

Share this post on your social media pages and help spread the word. There is power in numbers, and we need all hands on deck! Let's rise to the top together!
