Our goal is to raise $50,000 through the live and silent auctions, and we can't do it without the generosity of our neighbors and local businesses.

We're looking for donations such as:

• Event tickets
• Vacation stays
• Artwork or handcrafted items
• Spa or wellness packages
• Retail gift certificates
• Westwood-specific items
• Parties or gatherings
• Unique experiences or classes

All donations are tax-deductible, and donors will be recognized through social media coverage, recognition on the website, and in event promotional items/program. Every item, big or small, helps restore an important piece of Westwood history and invest in its future.

Interested in donating? Send us a DM or email us at [email protected] to coordinate your donation.
Donations being accepted until September 9, 2026.
Together, we can bring the Westwood Theatre back to life.

While society in general seems to be moving away from in-person connection and community building, here in Westwood we've been focused on improving it.
