Save the Trekcetera Museum!

Trekcetera, the CBS licensed Star Trek museum in Alberta, Canada, needs our help! 

Earlier this year, Trekcetera moved from the town of Vulcan (no joke, that is the name of the town they were founded in) to Drumheller (a big tourist town), an hour and fifteen minutes outside of Calgary.  The move has been a huge boon to the museum, which, in the first 5 months in Drumheller, has TRIPELED their entire gross income from 2016 in Vulcan and is already profitable. And with a huge Dinosaur museum in town that draws almost half a million people a year, Trekcetera expects to keep growing. There was a reptile museum that drew 40,000 atendees a year, and so Trekcetera's expectations of 12,000 attendees in 2018, its first full year in Drumheller, is entirely reasonable. 

THE TEAM

Devan J Daniels and Michael Carl Mangold are huge Star Trek fans. In 2013 they took their love of Star Trek and created Trekcetera in Vulcan, Alberta, Canada and soon thereafter got a license from CBS for Star Trek. They have been well known members of the Star trek prop & costume collecting community for over 10 years. They have literally put their entire life savings into the museum.


THE CHALLENGE

The museum has taken on a lot of debt because of the move and is in the middle of restructuring that debt with the lender as the debt burden is too much to support until the museum grows in its new location.  The lender has agreed to restructure their debt, but the museum needs our help now!


WHAT THEY NEED

Trekcetera needs $ 10,000 by Tuesday in order to prevent a loan from defaulting, and if they get it, the lender has agreed to restructure the entire debt.  So we are trying to make sure that the Trekcetera museum gets to fulfill its potential. 

And while GoFundMe won't distribute immediately, if we hit the total needed Tuesday, Devon and Michael will be able to get the bank to cover the loan payment until the money hits their account.

WHO WE ARE

We are a group of passionate Star Trek fans who are friends with Devon and Michael and want Trekcetera to suceed.  We want everyone to know about their museum and we want them to be successful.  100% of what is raised will go to them and if needed, we will help them with the fulfillment of perks.
