Keep Music Alive at The Pump House

**Pump House Music Works: A Call for Support**
  
Pump House Music Works, a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, serves as a venue for music and related social events. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality concerts across all genres and offering educational workshops to enrich our community’s musical traditions.

Over the past four years, the impact of the pandemic and our reliance on loans to stay afloat have led to significant financial challenges. As we move into the future, we face the possibility of closure after June unless we can overcome these hurdles.

As the owner, I want to express how vital your support is for us. Like many non-profits, we depend on generous donations to help us cover our operating costs. Running a small live music venue is incredibly challenging, but the rewards of bringing people together through music make it all worthwhile.

In the past, we have successfully navigated difficult periods through fundraisers and emergency grants. However, recent unexpected expenses have presented new obstacles. Following a successful Annual Fundraiser last November, which gave us hope for a stable winter, we encountered an unforeseen requirement for new liquor liability insurance that depleted our savings. This has put us in a precarious situation, and we now urgently need support.

I am reaching out with a humble request for your assistance in helping us reset our course. Pump House Music Works is a special place for many, and it is a privilege for us to serve this community and support our artists. Thank you for considering our plea and for your ongoing support. Together, we can ensure that this beloved music and events space remains a vibrant part of our community.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Dan Collins
