Following the resounding success of last year’s fundraiser, Flight of Fancy – BATS Turns 35, hailed as one of the city’s most exhilarating parties, the need for ongoing community support remains critical.
That event raised significant funds for the theatre, highlighting the essential role Wellingtonians play in sustaining the city’s arts and music scene.
Both BATS and RadioActive.FM, as charitable organisations, must continually raise funds to keep their doors open and their creative voices alive, ensuring that audiences can continue to enjoy bold, independent theatre and iconic local broadcasting.
