WHAT IS ADVENTURES IN CHARITY?
An IRS approved 501(c)(3) charity that raises money for numerous worthy causes. Over the years, those causes included the American Heart Association, A Better Life Pet Rescue, The American Diabetes Association, the Dravet Foundation, the Leukemia Society, The Actor’s Home, The Sjongen’s Syndrome Foundation, The Winter Park Playhouse, and many more. Over the past five years, Adventures in Charity has raised around $75,000.00. At the ten year point of the closing of the Adventurers Club, the Charity held the Final “Adventures in Charity”. The Board passed a resolution to disband Adventures in Charity” subject to final ‘winding up” operations. Because the mission of the Foundation is to promote intimate, interactive theatre, the Board voted to use its remaining assets (40 small tables and a great sound system) to donate to the Irish Heritage Center Charitable Foundation for the development of the Erin Cabaret Ballroom at the Irish Heritage Center in Cincinnati.
