Fund Run For the Hangar

PLEDGE

Hangar Management Associate Bethany Schiller is attempting to run 300 miles during the month of May to raise funds for the Hangar Theatre! You can cheer on Bethany’s Fund Run and support the Hangar Theatre with a pledge or a non-pledge sponsorship option. Every donation supports the Hangar Theatre’s mission to produce exceptional, high quality theatre for the Ithaca community and larger Finger Lakes region, and increases Bethany’s motivation to achieve this goal.

When you make a pledge you get to select two things: the dollar amount and per every xx miles. For example, you could pledge $2 every mile ($600 if Bethany reaches her goal), $1 every 10 miles ($30 if Bethany reaches her goal), or anything in between. Click HERE to pledge your support.

Every weekend in May, Bethany will run some of her miles through the Marine Park, starting from the Hangar. You can stop by to cheer her on, share a story about the Hangar, or even join for a mile or two! Each weekend we will meet at the Hangar, warm up as a group, and then run or walk as many mile loops in the Marine Park as you wish. These runs last for 1 hour, but folks are welcome to leave early.
  • Sunday, May 3 at 4pm
  • Saturday, May 9 at 4pm
  • Sunday, May 17 at 1pm (activity day following the closing performance of The Probably Improbable Adventures of Robin Hood)
  • Sunday, May 24 at 4 pm (stay for a tour of the theatre!)
