SPIRIT staff COVID-19 relief fund
Donation protected
Hello Kind Souls,
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Spirit has been hit extremely hard like so many other small businesses. After losing multiple weddings, sold out shows, and dozens of other events with no real reopen date solidified yet, we are most concerned for our 40+ employees. If you know Spirit, you know all credit is due to the staff who has worked so hard to create our unique community. A lot of our staff have multiple jobs and/or are artists who rely on these events to pay their bills. They, like so many others, suddenly have no work and face an uncertain economic future. Any love you could throw their way would be insanely appreciated.
Our goal is to raise $20,000 which was our projected payroll for the next 2 weeks, and 100% of the funds will be split evenly between our staff. This will help to provide our 40+ employees with their most basic needs for the next few weeks.**
In an effort to raise as much money as possible, Spirit will be supporting this campaign by donating the following:
• Highest donor will receive a wood-fired pizza making class for you and 7 of your friends (min. $500 donation)
• 2nd highest donor will receive a pizza party for you and 10 of your friends.
• One donor will be randomly selected to receive a Spirit Golden Ticket (1-year pass to all shows)
• Any contribution of $100+ gets a Spirit Brunch t-shirt and Brunch pass
• BONUS: if our goal of $20,000 is reached, Spirit staff will shave Tom Barr's head live on Instagram
We know this is a challenging time for everyone and are only asking for donations from those who have the financial means to do so. Please consider sharing this campaign if you are unable to donate.
Donor gifts will be available for pickup at Spirit once the dust settles and things have evened out.
We will continue to follow the CDC's guidelines as they become available and can't wait to welcome you back through our doors as soon as it's safe.
Much love,
Spirit
**Thomas Barr, one of 12 owners at Spirit, is listed as the beneficiary of this campaign solely in order to distribute the raised funds to Spirit's staff. 100% of the funds raised will go to our 41 employees, and owners will not receive any portion of these donations.
