Theatre Organ
It’s a real treat to watch the grand old WurliTzer organ rise from beneath the stage, adding atmosphere to any event. We can arrange for one of our talented volunteers to play your session in without charge. This would generally be for 15 minutes before your screening begins.
Promotional Support
Once you’ve booked your fundraiser, we’ll help you to promote it by featuring it on our website for you. On average we receive almost 10,000 visits to our site per month with each person spending 2:30 minutes on the site so it’s a great way to promote your fundraiser at no extra cost. You can have a short blurb about what you’re raising money for, plus details of how to buy tickets including a website link.
Peace of Mind
Fundraising events are at the core of our business. We run them all the time so you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands. It may also be comforting to know that all profits made by The Capri go back into the restoration and enhancement of this heritage building and preservation of the unique WurliTzer organ for the future generations of South Australians.
