Take-a-Seat Campaign
Help BMFI meet the Theater Challenge Campaign by sponsoring a seat!
Gentlemen prefer blondes and blondes prefer comfy new seats!
You can show your support for Bryn Mawr Film Institute and honor someone special by sponsoring a new theater seat—or a whole row—in one of the new theaters.* Sponsorships are $2,000 per seat.
Donors' names will be engraved on a permanent plaque affixed to the seat.
Your gift will help to build a place where quality film entertainment, cultural events, and educational opportunities are available to the region for decades to come.
You can sponsor a seat online
or by printing a sponsorship form.
"I'm getting two seats: one for me and one for Harvey."
The TAKE-A-SEAT CAMPAIGN is part of the Theater Challenge Campaign, raising funds to renovate the theater auditoriums and position BMFI for a healthy future. This will make your film-going experiences as fresh, "green", and forward-looking as BMFI's film programs.
Additional theaters will provide:
- The competitive advantage to attract the very best films;
- The space to present 100% more films; and
- A financially sustainable business model with lower operating costs, increased revenue, and a stronger balance sheet.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has provided the lead gift by awarding BMFI a $2.5 million challenge grant. BMFI needs to raise another $3 million to meet that challenge and reach the $5.5 million campaign goal.
Don't be left in the cold... Take-a-Seat.
The BMFI Board of Directors, local foundations, and neighbors in your community are leading the way.
Now they invite you to join them and TAKE-A-SEAT!
You can find more detailed information about the campaign and the theater renovations on the Theater Challenge Campaign page.
* Seat sponsorship does not mean that particular seat will be reserved for the sponsor for a particular screening.
