Save The Pinhook! Since Forever!

UPDATE #4

Y'ALLLLLL WE ARE ALMOST THERE! THANK YOU!

It's overwhelming to look at all of the supporters here and all the folks who have been at our shows and think about what a rad community we have. We'll be saying thank you forever, but for now, a few updates.

Because of generous offline donations and ticket sales from our first 3 shows, we have been able to lower our goal to just $51k.

Now, let's do some math.
You take the over $41k raised here on fundly
Plus the ticket's we've already sold for tonight's show ($6k).
AND...That leaves just $4k left to meet our total goal of $80k to SAVE THE PINHOOK!

We've got 3 days. We've got this!

We are so grateful to all of you who have supported us and continue to in all ways! We're so close... so if you feel inspired keep the party rolling in any of the following ways.

Share our fundly link on social media.
Post a picture of your favorite moment at the Pinhook online.
Tell your friends to buy tickets for our final show (only 20 left!)
Buy a raffle ticket this weekend at the Pinhook (I mean, MOOG FEST / HOPSCOTCH / ART OF COOL / SHAKORI PASSES?)
Spread the word in the best way you know how.

We'll be updating you in the coming days as we close in and talk more about how we can all celebrate this incredible show of support.

We feel the love y'all. Big time. See you forever.

xoxo,
Team Pinhook

Update #3

Hey friends - I'm going to post a few answers to some FAQ's - watch it only be like 2. But whatever. Hi. Love y'all.

1. We're going to be lowering the goal of our fundraising campaign with each offsite donation that we get. We've been mailed donations that add up to 2,250 from friends like The Blotter and sweet angel queers in Providence that put on a dance party for us! There are other donors that I don't have consent to name... So that is ONE way you can donate. Definitely.

2. ALL of the money that we raise will go do paying off this extreme debt. If we have anything left over for any reason (weird but cool) we will consult our higher powers / spiritual authorities and YOU about what you think should be done with the money. In no way will we use it for operating costs or anything other than what it was intended for. Duh :)

3. Just for kicks - and to make sure we're all on the same page here - I want to make it clear that as far I know / suspect there was absolutely no mal intention in this scenario. The mistakes made were honest - but costly mistakes nonetheless. To me - that doesn't absolve responsibility - but it does make it a more palatable situation. And we can get through this with your help.

4. BUY 4 DAY PASSES TO THESE SHOWS y'all.

Its a way to donate to the campaign and see some amazing music - to give and have fun at the same time. If we sell out these shows, we'll be VERY close to making our goal. So buy tix! They are going - and will soon be gone.

Lookie there. 4 FAQ's ...

Thanks friends!!

SAVE THE PINHOOK! WHERE'S WINONA?

Y'all, we are 42% of the way to our goal and we are so incredibly grateful for your support! We've got 4 incredible shows coming up to help take this campaign to the finish line.

In celebration, we're launching a "Where's Winona" photo scavenger hunt and want you all to join in! It's your chance to win a 4-night pass to the "Save the Pinhook" concert series.

WHERE'S WINONA? RULES:

1. Find a Winona in the wild (we've stashed a few dozen of them around the Triangle).
2. Snap a pic with/of her.
3. Share your photo on social media
4. Tag the photo with #savethepinhook

You can feel free to take Winona on an adventure with you or just leave her in her natural habitat. Either way, once you have your photos, be sure to place her back somewhere where other contestants may discover her.

For Immediate Release...

It is with a hopeful heart and “Save the Empire” spirit that, The Pinhook, one of Durham’s deeply rooted and vital institutions announces a 4-night concert series in support of their recent fundraising campaign. Launched just a month ago, the campaign has already seen an overwhelming outpour of support. To take it to the finish line and ensure that this venue will be around, until forever, owner Kym Register is curating a 4-night concert series called “Save the Pinhook”.

Banding together with the Triangle’s finest musicians, each night will be a full- on party of epic proportions. These super-secret luscious line-ups are not to be missed, featuring many of the triangle’s favorite musicians—from those that made their start here or have come to call this area home.

Take a gamble and pick a night, there’s something for everyone in each evening’s bills, or go all-in and get tickets for the whole series. You can say you were there, you saw it all, you saved the Pinhook.

Keep posted to the Pinhook website (thepinhook.com) and social media (@thepinhook) throughout the month as they launch their “Where’s Winona” campaign for a chance to win a 4-night pass, release more details and continue the celebration of support for this time-honored establishment.
