Weyburn, SK: The Young Fellows Club of Weyburn(YFCW) is excited to announce a major sponsorship increase from the amount of $100,000.00 to $250,000. The funds will be donated to the Weyburn Theatre Community Service Cooperative(WTCSC) to help ensure construction of a new Co-Operative Movie Theatre in Weyburn, Saskatchewan.
This donation increase pushes the YFCW to over $3,000,000 donated back to Weyburn and the surrounding communities. The YFCW has been a long-standing cornerstone of fundraising and community involvement in Weyburn and the surrounding area. With the club having been founded in 1922, adjusting for inflation would put this sum over $5,000,000.
The WTCSC has been fundraising since 2022 and has raised over $1.65 million. Under the original feasibility study and plan the group would raise $1.6m and finance the remainder of the build. Unfortunately over the past few years inflation has run rampant and this year's economic uncertainty has again impacted projected costs.
The YFCW saw the need for a facility like this in our community and recognized the impact that inflation and trade disputes have had on the cost of construction. To that end the club reviewed their original donation of $100,000 and decided to increase it by $150,000 to a total donation of $250,000.
This donation pushes the total committed funds for the WTCSC to $1,650,000 towards completion of the construction project.
